Explore psychology degrees available through clearing

At the School of Psychology you will learn as you practise, applying your knowledge in practical activities within our psychology experiential learning lab, and building experience from the start.
You also have the opportunity to apply your skills and knowledge with an optional placement year, or take part in an international exchange year by studying abroad. This builds your confidence and broadens your experience.
Personalise your studies and get to know the subjects you love. Our option-based final year gives you complete flexibility to focus on the areas of psychology that interest you the most.
