About Psychology, MA (Hons) - at University of Glasgow

Psychology is the science of human thought and behaviour.

What will I study?

Initially you will study the way the brain controls behaviour and thought, the role of modern imaging techniques in studying the brain and the psychology of how groups interact.

The first three years of the programme will expose you to the main areas of psychology: developmental, social, cognitive, brain and behaviour, experimental design and statistics, abnormal, perception and visual cognition, individual differences and applied psychology.

In the final year you will choose options which cover many of these areas but with more focus including:

• Perception


• Psycholinguistics


• Social cognition


• Applied and the biological basis of cognition and its disorders


• Psychological interventions: theory and practice.

You will also undertake a short research project in your final year which will be supervised by an active researcher. Exposure to ongoing research and the teaching of independent critical thought are important goals of the degree.

Progress to Honours is dependent on you having marked Psychology as your choice in the UCAS application, subsequently having accepted an offer made for Psychology, and on satisfactory attainment in both Levels 1 and 2. At present this involves achieving at least a B pass in both years. A pass in Statistics 1C (or equivalent) is also a requirement for entry to Honours Psychology.
