APIIT Launches BSc (Hons) Psychology awarded by University of Staffordshire, UK
View(s):Psychology influences everything we do, from how we respond to different environments to how social media shapes our wellbeing. The BSc (Hons) Psychology course from University of Staffordshire, now offered at APIIT Sri Lanka, provides you with a comprehensive and intellectually stimulating journey into understanding the human mind by exploring the reasons behind thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
What sets this course apart is its balance of academic rigour, applied experience, and contemporary relevance. This honours degree equips you with an in-depth understanding of psychological theories, research, and practice, whilst encouraging you to apply your learning to real-world challenges. This, alongside all the skills you will develop, will help you to make meaningful impact.
Throughout the course, you will explore key questions such as: How can we support individuals with mental health challenges? How do cultural attitudes toward success and failure affect mental health in Sri Lanka? What role do group dynamics and motivation play in organisational success? What psychological factors drive social movements?
You will engage with a wide range of psychological disciplines, including clinical, developmental, health, cognitive and forensic psychology. One of the course’s distinguishing features is the flexibility it offers in allowing you to tailor your learning experience. As you progress, you’ll have opportunities to specialise in areas that align with your own interests and career goals, culminating in a final-year research project on a topic you’re passionate about.
As a psychologist in training, through this course you’ll be supported to develop professional and academic skills. For example, you will gain confidence in analysing data, interpreting research findings, and producing scientific reports. To keep the course responsive to current issues, you will explore emerging and socially relevant topics such as conspiracy theories, cyberbullying, AI use in health, and the psychological perspectives on nature and well-being.
This internationally recognised degree provides a strong foundation for a variety of careers ranging from mental health and education to human resources, research, and much more. While you can complete the degree in Sri Lanka, one of the most exciting aspects of this course is the opportunity to begin your studies at APIIT Sri Lanka and, after successfully completing your first year, transferring to University of Staffordshire in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, to complete your degree, subject to passing all of your first-year modules in time for transfer.
By transferring to our UK campus after the first year, you’ll have the added benefit of completing a BPS accredited degree. You’ll also gain access to outstanding facilities and a vibrant academic environment designed to help you thrive. Our state-of-the-art Science Centre features specialised cognitive research cubicles, psychophysiology equipment, simulation technology, and observation suites that will enhance your practical learning and research experience.
You’ll be taught and mentored by expert academic staff with diverse specialisms across the field of psychology, giving you insights into both established and emerging areas of research. As part of our Psychology community, you’ll have access to a wide range of enriching opportunities. These include getting involved in the Psychology Society, an inclusive and friendly student-led group that brings together people who are passionate about psychology and personal development. It’s a great way to make connections, share ideas, and get the most out of your university life.
We invite you to join the University of Staffordshire Psychology programme for a truly enriching and empowering learning experience that will not only help you step into a career of your choice but will also prepare you for life itself.
