Program overview
A three year honours degree in psychology, covering cognitive, developmental, social and biological psychology, research methods, statistics and a final year research project.
Bangor’s psychology school has a long established research record, and this degree feeds the several master routes and the doctorate the university also offers in the subject.
Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the psychology degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the psychology degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the psychology degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the psychology degree does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology is Class 12 or equivalent with 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the psychology degree is recorded at GBP 20,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the psychology degree. The psychology degree lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the psychology degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
