This course offers graduates the real opportunity to apply psychology skills and knowledge into a challenging and continually changing environment. This course combines people and technology, providing knowledge and skills which are in demand throughout the modern world.

It is important today that those who are essentially interested in human behaviour know something about technology - what is available, and how it can be used to help people. To do this, we need to understand how people perceive, remember, feel, think, communicate and solve problems; this is the domain of psychology.

A typical student coming on this course would have a strong interest in psychology and a wish to learn about computer technology. We do not expect any background in computing but intend to take you, step by step, to a level of understanding and expertise, which will be very valuable in the workplace. Similarly the course also appeals to students with qualifications in computing and an interest in human behaviour. At the end of the course you will have a set of technical and people skills which are in demand throughout the modern world as our record of graduate employment shows.
