BSc (Hons) Environmental Psychology University of East London

Program Description

You will study core topics in Psychology (Biopsychology, Cognitive, Social and Developmental Psychology, Individual Differences and Research Methods) along with learning specialist knowledge and skills about how the environment influences human behaviour. This includes how we perceive and navigate our environments, the role of built and natural environments on behaviour; as well as how other environmental influences - such as noise, and temperature crowding - can shape and impact our behaviour. You will look at how human behaviour impacts the environment. You will learn about the environmental issues we face today (such as climate change and air pollution), and what we can contribute as psychologists to encourage pro-environmental behaviour. You will learn how to apply your theoretical and research knowledge to practical problems. This programme is led and hosted by the School of Psychology , and we work in collaboration with the UEL's centre of excellence - the Sustainability Research Centre (SRI) - to deliver some of the material, placement work and co-supervise projects. In joining us at UEL, you will have a unique student experience as well as learn the requisite knowledge base and skills to contribute to the creation of a sustainable future.
