Cognitive psychology is the study of the mental processes that inform human behaviour, such as attention, language, memory, perception. On this degree you will master key theories and research methods of this fascinating field. You will study topics such as psychology and risk, psychology of language, brain, mind and machines, social and affective neuroscience, and applied neuropsychology. In your final year, you will design and implement you own research project related to cognitive psychology. Past students have researched areas such as autism, face perception, visual perception and attention, and brain activity in relation to social and non-social stimuli.
This course is ideal if you are interested in a career in mental and physical rehabilitation, neuroscience or clinical psychology. Because you’ll learn to handle large data sets and gain expertise in human/computer interaction, product testing, human factors, and how we process information, you’ll also be well equipped to go into data or computer science. Alternatively, the course will provide you with a firm base for further postgraduate study in cognitive psychology. |
