FAQ
What’s the difference between the BSc in Psychology and the BSc in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience?
Both programmes are similar, but the BSc in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience focuses more on how brain function relates to behaviour and includes specialised research techniques like brain imaging.
In the first year, both programmes are identical to provide a strong foundation in psychology. In the second year, all taught modules are the same except for the practical (experimental) module. By the third year, Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience students must take at least 40 credits of cognitive neuroscience-related modules, while BSc Psychology students have more flexibility to choose from various options.
For those interested in a career or further studies in neuroscience, the Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience degree is a strong choice. Students can also transfer between the two programmes before starting their second year, giving them flexibility as their interests evolve.
What’s the difference between the Psychology programmes in the School of Psychology and the BSc Applied Psychology and Management?
The BSc Applied Psychology and Management is ideal for students interested in both psychology and business management, focusing on how psychology applies to organisational and social settings.
On the other hand, the Psychology programmes in the School of Psychology explore the mind, brain, and behaviour from a scientific perspective. They cover core areas like cognitive, developmental, biological, and social psychology, with a strong focus on research methods and quantitative analysis.
What are the career opportunities for Psychology graduates?
Graduates can pursue careers in academia, corporate, or clinical fields.
- Academic: You might go on to postgraduate study before becoming a lecturer or researcher.
- Education: You can teach at early-childhood, primary, secondary, or tertiary levels.
- Corporate: Careers in human resources, marketing, consultancy, and media are popular options.
- Clinical: To become a counsellor, therapist, or clinical psychologist, further postgraduate training is usually required.

Are internships available for UNM psychology students?
Yes! We offer internships through the Nottingham Advantage Award (NAA), an optional programme to enhance your studies. While not mandatory, first and second-year students can apply for summer internships in psychology-related fields (clinical, research, or business) across Malaysia. These internships run full-time over 3 months during the summer, giving you practical experience without conflicting with your regular studies. You'll also earn a certificate and 10 NAA credits. Additionally, we have limited research internships with our lecturers, open mainly to second-year students.
Can I study in the UK during my degree?
Yes, you can apply for our mobility exchange to study at the Nottingham UK School of Psychology for one semester or up to a year in your second year. This is competitive and based on your first-year academic performance (minimum 55% average). If accepted, you'll study in the UK but continue paying Malaysian tuition fees! You can also transfer to the UK for your third year with a 60% average, but UK fees will apply. If you've already done the exchange, you'll pay UK fees retroactively for that year.
