The new BPsych programme is up-to-date and innovative. It emphasises hands-on experience, research-intensive learning experience, and multi-disciplinary approaches. We aim to enhance students’ learning experience in the new programme through a very wide range of disciplinary courses.
- Experiential learning projects
Students are given opportunities to plan or design their own project and apply psychology knowledge to solve real-life problems and reflect upon this experience. - Interdisciplinary thesis
Students are prepared with advanced research training in multi-disciplinary areas. Students are also given opportunities to work on a thesis involving two co-supervisors from different subfields in psychology. - Advanced quantitative methods in psychology
Students are provided with research method skills training that are essential for the implementation and consumption of research in psychology, with an emphasis on quantitative methods, data science and multidisciplinary approaches. - Great flexibility for second major or minor
Apart from the holistic training in psychology, students are also provided with flexibility to pursue a second major or minor in other disciplines that match their personal interest or specific career goals. - Clear study pathways
Students are provided with clear pathways to professional psychology, including Educational Psychology and Clinical Psychology, Mental Health related training such as counselling, and advanced research training in psychology related fields including Cognitive Science and Neuroscience.
