This program provides a solid foundation in cognitive psychology's core theories and research methodologies. You'll explore subjects including neural processes and cognition, risk psychology, the fascinating realm of visual perception, language psychology, and clinical neuropsychology.
During your final year, you'll conduct an independent research project focused on cognitive psychology. Previous student projects have examined autism spectrum disorders, facial recognition, visual attention mechanisms, and neural responses to social versus non-social cues. This course is particularly suitable for those pursuing careers in rehabilitation sciences, neuroscience, or clinical psychology. You'll develop skills in managing complex datasets and gain specialized knowledge in human-computer interfaces, usability testing, ergonomics, and information processing - making you equally prepared for careers in data science or computing fields. The program also serves as excellent preparation for advanced studies in cognitive psychology at the postgraduate level.
