Core areas include social, cognitive, developmental and biological psychology and individual differences, with specialist options such as drug use and addiction, climate and behaviour change and social neuroscience. Students learn to design studies and analyse data through lectures, seminars, tutorials and lab classes, and the final year centres on a substantial original research project.
