Why Study Psychology at Keele?
Accredited Courses
All our undergraduate courses are
accredited by the British Psychological
Society. This demonstrates that our
psychology courses meet rigorous,
externally determined quality standards
in education and training including the
curriculum, learning outcomes and
appropriate resources.
Personalised Learning
Experience
We offer a personalised learning
experience with a choice of Single
Honours Psychology or alternatively,
Combined Honours routes in which
students take Psychology alongside
another discipline such as Criminology
or Neuroscience.
In your final year you will get to carry out
a psychology research project on a topic
of your own choosing under the expert
keele.ac.uk/psychology
guidance of one of our academic staff
members. There is also the opportunity
to take a year out gaining valuable
work experience.
Study Abroad
There are superb opportunities to study
abroad, for example in the USA or
Canada. Choose one semester of a three-
year degree, or an entire year within a
four-year course.
Research Active Staff
Our students benefit from excellent
guidance and support from research-
active staff. For example, Professor
Clifford Stott’s research applies social
psychology to help the police apply more
effective crowd management at large
public events. Professor Nicola Edelstyn
is a neuropsychologist whose research
on Parkinson’s Disease has furthered
understanding of this debilitating illness.
Student Support
Students tell us how much they value the
psychology-focussed learning support on
offer from our team of Teaching Fellows.
In addition, our academic staff are on
hand to provide tailored psychology
careers advice and guidance regarding
postgraduate study.
