Psychology
Psychology at Exeter is a stimulating, flexible and contemporary programme that provides you with an excellent foundation in key areas of psychology – developmental, cognitive, biological, social, clinical and personality – together with research methods and data analysis. We take this approach into this subject activity strand.
We want to offer a wide range of experience across six subject activity sessions. There will be the opportunity to develop research skills, as well as completing more practical, physical activities – so you should be prepared to take part! Our academics will showcase our world-class facilities and labs, and share their research interests.
