BSc (Hons) Applied Business Psychology with Foundation Year

Bath Spa University

How people think and behave shapes every business decision, and the BSc (Hons) Applied Business Psychology brings the two together. You explore how psychological theory applies to marketing, management, human resources and consumer behaviour. A foundation year builds study and employability skills while introducing psychology and business management. Later, you study human resource management including equality, diversity and inclusion, the psychology of leadership, entrepreneurship and innovation, and digital marketing through a business psychology lens. The final year applies strategic thinking to organisational development and the psychology of online communication and virtual interaction. Flexible timetables are listed at campuses across England’s major cities. AF Education gives UK home students free help applying and with Student Finance England.
