Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Psychology with Management

The psychology component of the course (75% of the curriculum) covers the discipline’s main areas, namely social psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, biological psychology, individual differences, and research methods, and emphasises their application to various employment-related contexts. The management component (25%) of the course introduces (and allows specialism within) marketing, human resource management, finance, and management.

Teaching is mainly via lectures, but large numbers of tutorials mean that staff and students know one another well. Assessment features a mixture of coursework and examination.

BSc Psychology with Management at Heriot-Watt University’s Edinburgh campus is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and qualifies honours students for graduate registration with the Society. This is required for those wishing to take professional courses and qualify as professional psychologists (for example, clinical, forensic, occupational or educational psychologists) in the UK.
