Psychology with Foundation year London South Bank University

Overview

Not everyone takes the same route into university, and that’s ok. If you’re passionate about Psychology but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for one of our Psychology degrees, then this course is for you.

Our minds are utterly fascinating and endlessly complex. Each one is unique, moulded by our genes, our society, upbringings and our experiences. This complexity is what makes the study of human psychology so fascinating and rewarding for people like you.

Studying Psychology at LSBU will enable you to be part of a community dedicated to improving lives and building a better future. Psychology is crucial for solving the problems of the modern world. We work to understand what drives prejudice, why some children grow up to commit crime while others don’t, how to tackle addiction and depression, how to change societal behaviour to protect the climate, and how to heal communities after trauma.

As Abraham Maslow warned, “The world will either be saved by the psychologists, or it won't be saved at all.”

Prepare yourself to tackle real-world challenges by undertaking practical experiments in our top, industry-facilities that includes eye-tracking software, early years development facilities, tools to measure brain activity, and even a pub simulator. You’ll learn to think and act like a scientist here, exploring the ins and outs of psychological research and application, and getting you ready for industry or post-graduate study, to get you where you want to go next.
