This British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited three-year full-time Bachelor of Science (Hons) program provides a comprehensive understanding of human behaviour, mind, and brain. The curriculum is delivered in a three-stage approach: Year 1 focuses on the BPS core subject areas, Year 2 delves into the research themes of Psychology at Liverpool, and Year 3 allows students to choose modules from the School's research specialisms for in-depth knowledge. Core topics include biological and clinical psychology, cognitive neurosciences, forensic psychology, research methodologies, and statistics, as well as developmental psychology. Students can also choose from a wide selection of optional modules in areas such as addiction, evolutionary psychology, the neurobiology of emotions, and the psychology of pain. Students benefit from studying in a department known for world-leading academic experts, research centres, and laboratories. Research facilities include the Liverpool Human Ingestive Behaviour Laboratory (one of Europe's largest for appetite studies), a Bar Laboratory (for alcohol behaviour research), multiple EEG Laboratories for brain activity measurement, and a Visual and Audio-visual Laboratory. In the final year, students undertake an in-depth research project with an individual academic supervisor on a topic of personal and professional interest.
