Curriculum
You’ll be studying core psychology modules as well as key elements of human biology and pharmacology.
Your work will involve studying brain function at a biological level. You’ll be observing what chemical reactions are going on in what parts of the brain in response to various drugs.
In your final year, you can also choose from a range of optional modules. For instance, you could study Drugs and Addictive Behaviours, which offers a psychological interpretation that supplements the work you’ll be doing in the laboratory.
It involves looking at different classes of drug, such as stimulants, depressants and opiates. You’ll be looking both at illegal drugs and legal, prescribed drugs.
Among the 11 core modules you’ll be studying are Introduction to Cognitive and Developmental Psychology; Human Anatomy and Physiology; and Perspectives on Behaviour: Biological, Social and Differential.
The extraordinary breadth of knowledge within our large School of Psychology means we can offer as many as 19 optional modules in your final year, including Toxicology, Systems Pharmacology and Health Psychology.
