You’ll divide your time equally between the computing and IT modules and the psychology modules. You’ll learn how psychological research addresses real-life issues, for example, how psychology has both learned from and informed the development of artificial intelligence, and how people interact in online environments.

Combining the study of these popular and important disciplines will equip you for a wide range of possible careers.
