Language shapes how we express ourselves; psychology explains why we do it. The B.A. (Psychology, English) programme brings these two disciplines together, offering a unique space to study human behaviour alongside literature, culture, and communication. You will explore the inner workings of the mind through psychological science and examine how those experiences are reflected and represented in literary and cultural texts. Whether you are drawn to writing, research, people, or ideas, this programme builds the analytical depth and communicative precision to carry you across a wide range of fields and further studies.
Programme Overview
The curriculum balances core psychology with English language and literary studies, developing both scientific reasoning and interpretive thinking. Students engage with areas spanning cognitive, biological, and social psychology, psychopathology, psychological assessment, British and postcolonial literatures, translation studies, and academic writing; supportedby training in research methods across both disciplines. Internships and project-based learning provide applied, real- world experience to complement classroom study.
