BSc Psychology

At the University of Reading Malaysia, psychology is explored from multiple angles — from brain function to group dynamics and their impact on individuals. Guided by globally respected experts, students gain in-depth knowledge of key areas in psychology while exploring current research and real-world applications through work placements and hands-on projects.

The programme emphasizes critical understanding of modern research — its principles, methods, and unresolved challenges. Students learn to assess and conduct their own studies, with the final year offering flexibility to focus on topics that align with their interests and career goals. They will also complete an original research project that contributes to the field, examining how psychological insights influence areas like education, healthcare, and business.

Ranked among the world’s top 150 for psychology by Times Higher Education (2019), the University of Reading’s programme in Malaysia is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). This accreditation qualifies graduates for Graduate Basis for Chartered (GBC) Membership, opening the door to postgraduate training in the UK and beyond.
