Course delivery
Following the pandemic, we have found that some courses benefit from a blended learning and teaching approach. Therefore, the majority of your teaching will be face-to-face on campus aside from a small amount of online teaching where we have learnt it works best.
Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of our published course information. However, our programmes are subject to ongoing review and development. Changing circumstances may cause alteration to, or the cancellation of, courses. Changes may be necessary to comply with the requirements of accrediting bodies or revisions to subject benchmarks statements. As well as to keep courses updated and contemporary, or as a result of student feedback. We reserve the right to make variations if we consider such action to be necessary or in the best interests of students.
Future careers
Our Neuropsychology degree programme will provide you with the opportunity to pursue a number of different career paths, including working with people with a range of needs such neurodegenerative diseases, tumours, strokes, traumatic and brain injuries or to undertake a research career either in industry or academia.
The specialist knowledge and skills you’ll develop over the course of this degree can offer a route towards a range of careers centred around brain function. While that often means clinical or healthcare settings, it could also offer routes into the pharmaceutical industry, community services or teaching. Neuropsychology is even being applied to the marketing and advertising world, potentially offering some graduates a more unexpected path.
Many of the graduates aiming to become professional psychologists go on to postgraduate study, including our very own BPS-accredited master’s programmes.
Throughout your time with us, you’ll have various opportunities to enhance your employability. You can get involved with our staff research – whether as participant or assistant – not only through your modules, but also with summertime placements and internships. It’s a great way of adding some professional experience to your CV, and you could even find your name on published, peer-reviewed work.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
