Psychology With Neuropsychology

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour, and neuropsychology brings the brain itself into focus, examining how neural structures, processes, and injuries affect cognition, emotion, personality, and behaviour. Together, they form a combination that speaks to some of the most profound questions in science: how does the physical matter of the brain give rise to consciousness and experience, and what happens when brain systems are disrupted by injury, disease, or developmental differences?

At Bangor University in Wales, Psychology with Neuropsychology is offered over three years in full-time mode, with a foundation year available for those who need to build their scientific and academic foundations before entering the main degree. The programme includes a sandwich year, a year abroad option, and a work placement, providing structured opportunities to gain professional and international experience alongside your academic study. Bangor has a particularly strong tradition in psychology and neuroscience, with research expertise in cognitive neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology, and developmental psychology, and studying here means engaging with active research questions as well as established knowledge.

The combination of psychology and neuropsychology prepares you for careers in both the clinical and research dimensions of brain science and mental health. Many graduates go on to postgraduate training in clinical psychology, neuropsychology, or neuroscience, which are the main routes into clinical practice in brain health and mental health settings. Others move into research roles in universities, pharmaceutical companies, or healthcare organisations.

The skills developed by the degree, careful observation, experimental design, data analysis, critical reasoning, and clear writing, are also valued in healthcare management, education, forensic settings, and human-computer interaction research. The typical entry tariff is 120 points.
