Course description

The Applied Psychology degree from Robert Gordon University covers the scientific study of the brain and behaviour, and will explore how we interact with the world around us. Social science encompasses a range of fascinating disciplines. Psychology is one that is well-known and topical with a practical application.

This course is delivered by a small, friendly, research-active staff group.

In your first two years you will study a range of social science modules. This initial grounding will be invaluable for exploring the real-world applications of psychology, before you specialise in psychology-based modules and tailoring your degree according to your interests. Additionally, you will be developing a series of transferable skills that will be vital for your future career.

Please note that advanced entry is not available for this course at present.
