Programme structure

Your first year will see you study the six core subject areas of psychology, in addition to marketing practice. You will develop psychological literacy skills, such as writing and presenting, and gain key transferrable skills. You will use our Virtual Learning Environment to access online, video-based content, as well as being assessed through more traditional formats, such as essays and exams.

Your second year, by contrast, focuses more on professional practice, looking at biological and cognitive psychology to highlight the relationship between brain function and thought processing. Marketing course content will focus on the application of knowledge in an operational context, as well as the implementation of marketing research and strategy.

In your final year, you will examine psychology and marketing at a more advanced level, culminating in a dissertation project, which combines all elements of the degree in order to evaluate and answer a specific area of the subject.

Examples of assessments include essays, research proposals, presentations, online forums and debates.

Career opportunities

We tailor our modules to map the skills our graduates need to their future careers. Our practice-based modules and events give you the chance to develop your employability skills and reflect on your chosen career aspirations.

During your second year, you can choose modules that focus on gaining and applying for placements, application writing and interview skills.

We also invite opportunities for alumni visits, so previous graduates can share their experience with you.
