What is BSc Cognitive Psychology?

With BSc Cognitive Psychology, you’ll explore how the mind processes information through attention, memory, language and problem-solving. You’ll study how these abilities develop across the lifespan, why they sometimes fail, and how the brain shapes everyday experience.

The course is flexible, so you can switch to another specialised psychology degree or to BSc Psychology before the end of year two. In year one, you may also transfer to our Year Abroad or Placement degrees, subject to availability and academic requirements.

You’ll learn through a mix of lectures and small-group teaching, helping you build academic skills and confidence as an independent thinker. A dedicated academic adviser will support you throughout your studies, and your final-year project supervisor will be a specialist in cognitive psychology.

Beyond the classroom, you can take part in research, internships and volunteering or join student societies such as PsySoc. UEA is an inclusive and vibrant community, offering so much more than academic studies.
