Why Study Psychology?
Our British Psychological Society accredited courses will enable you
to explore the mind, brain and behaviour and understand how and
why people think, feel, communicate and act.
Studying for a degree in Psychology at Keele you’ll be
challenged by exciting ideas and findings from a wide range
of areas of the subject including developmental psychology,
psychobiology, social psychology, cognitive neuropsychology
and a variety of contemporary applied topics. Our courses
are informed by the cutting-edge research of our staff and
are designed to develop your own critical thinking and
research skills.
Whether studying the psychological impact of pain,
measuring the effects of advertising through eye-tracking,
the causes of crime and victimisation or the negotiation of
power and authority in interaction, you’ll benefit from our
supportive environment as well as our fantastic lab facilities
and equipment.
Our academic staff are not only excellent teachers but also
leading researchers, taking an active role in pushing forward
the boundaries of psychological knowledge. Our students get
to share in the excitement of discovery in classes and during
final year project research supervision meetings. Students can
also volunteer with staff on research projects as part of the
Psychology Research Experience scheme.
