Your future in action.
At Bangor, psychology isn’t just something you study — it’s something you experience. You’ll explore the science of the mind with world-class researchers who bring their discoveries straight into the classroom. From human brain dissections to running marathons in the name of science, your learning will be hands-on, exciting, and deeply connected to the real world.
