BSc (Hons) Environmental Psychology in London United Kingdom | University of East London

Alongside fundamental Psychology subjects (Biopsychology, Cognitive, Social and Developmental Psychology, Individual Differences, and Research Methods), you'll gain expertise in understanding the dynamic interplay between behavior and environment. The curriculum explores how surroundings affect human actions: examining environmental perception, the behavioral effects of constructed and natural spaces, and how factors like noise, temperature, and crowding influence our conduct. You'll also investigate humanity's environmental impact: studying current ecological challenges (including climate change and air pollution) and exploring psychology's potential to promote eco-friendly practices.
This British Psychological Society-accredited program shares foundational modules with our other psychology degrees. You'll examine bidirectional environment-behavior relationships, recognizing psychology's crucial role in addressing climate change. The curriculum addresses the complexities of behavioral modification and public acceptance of environmental policies, demonstrating psychology's relevance across ecological settings. You'll engage with theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and sustainability-focused research.

This degree provides valuable preparation for careers in environmental communication and behavioral change sectors, which are expanding due to increased political commitment to ecological initiatives. Graduates can pursue opportunities in government policy research, environmental advocacy organizations improving climate communication, or private sector roles developing behavior-based solutions.
