Studying and living in the USA for a semester as part of my degree has allowed me to expand my global perspective, gain a greater level of independence and adapt to and experience new ways of learning.

Politics and data science student

Smaller classes mean you get to know your professors. It feels more personal. Being so close to London and the rest of England and Europe is so unique and offers so much opportunity, I have loved my time at the university.

Data science student

NU London offered a specialised opportunity to study an honours programme in my degree subject, heightened by small class sizes, and more personalised features in the lectures. My lecturers knew my style of learning and my ability and were able to tailor the information into the way I best understood it.

Programme overview

What you’ll study

Your BA (Hons) Psychology studies will give you a firm grounding in the fundamentals of mind and behaviour. You’ll explore feelings and thoughts, brain function, emotions, personality, human development and more.

discover how our minds and behaviour are affected by social, economic, political, health and environmental changes

explore topics such as the ‘nature or nurture’ debate, and the role of growth and development, gender, consciousness, perception, learning, memory, language, emotion, motivation and well-being in shaping the human mind and behaviour

study the structure and function of the human brain, including the biology of cognitive processes as well as nervous system disorders

examine how we think, with a focus on cognitive processes including attention, perception, problem-solving and decision-making

explore the science of human differences, from personality types and cognitive styles to intelligence and mental health

investigate the principles of mental health and psychopathology – the scientific study of mental health disorders and their treatments

understand quantitative, qualitative and mixed research methods, how to generate and test hypotheses, and how to conduct research in an ethical way

The programme culminates in your Final Project: an independent research project in which you’ll collect and analyse empirical data on a topic of your choosing, and present your results.

Psychology courses

The courses that run in each academic year are subject to change in line with faculty availability and student demand, and may have limited capacity or be unavailable to you due to the timetable. There is, therefore, no guarantee every course will be available every year.

If you take three or more courses, across at least two levels in a defined area outside your main discipline, you can apply to receive recognition for this in a letter alongside your degree certificate and transcript (e.g. BA (Hons) Psychology with Law).
