Psychology is the study of people: how they think, act, react and interact. Psychologists scientifically study all kinds of behaviour and the thoughts, feelings and motivations underlying behaviour. By collecting information about what people do, think, perceive and feel, psychologists answer questions about human behaviour, cognition and development. The Psychology programmes at Kent give you a broad background in practical applications, experimental and other methodologies, information technology and theory construction, and also allow you to follow specialist interests at Stage 3. All your work will help you to demonstrate transferable skills valued by employers. The programme aims to: meet the needs of those contemplating a career in the psychological professions, as well as those motivated by an intellectual interest in psychology; attract candidates from a variety of educational backgrounds; provide an understanding of the principal perspective in psychology (for example, social, cognitive, and biological); introduce students to a range of theoretical and methodological approaches. Our graduates have gone into areas such as local government administration, social welfare, the Home Office, the probation service, teaching, special needs work, the NHS and health charities, or on to postgraduate professional training courses, for example, in educational, occupational or clinical psychology.
