Psychology and Social Policy
University of StrathclydeCourse Overview
Offered by University of Strathclyde, the BA (Hons) Psychology and Social Policy provides a comprehensive undergraduate education in psychology. Based in Glasgow, Scotland, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 4-year full-time structure. You'll look at conditions of behaviour – how we learn, remember, co-ordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for differences between individuals, such as personality or intelligence. Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4) the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the course are limited. Social Policy examines the ways in which societies distribute resources and develop services to meet individual and social needs. International tuition fees are £22,750 per year, home/UK fees are £9,790 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with a median graduate salary of £23,500 within three years, and a 86% continuation rate.
