Biological Psychology (C8514)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
On this module, you’ll explore biological psychology, the scientific study of the brain and how it shapes behaviour.
You’ll examine the basic structure and function of the brain and its cells, alongside studying the methodological approaches used in the field.
Using the latest research evidence, you’ll inspect a variety of behaviours, such as:
- motivation
- reproductive behaviour
- sleep
- psychological disorders.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
