As Meghna Kapadia CPsychol, Psychology Lecturer explains “Learning about and understanding Psychology is incredibly valuable in an individual’s life. This BSc in Psychology with Foundation Year provides a scientific foundation for understanding human behaviour on a physiological, emotional, cognitive, social, and cultural basis while granting a comprehension of motivations – how and why human beings operate the way they do.

The primary goal of the BSc Psychology degree at Solent University Centres is to educate students in academic and applied settings to widen and strengthen their education based on which the science of Psychology rests. Studying psychology will give students the skills needed to investigate complex scientific principles and theories behind human behaviour. Students will also develop expertise in research methodologies, critical reasoning, data analysis, and experiment design.”
