We are living through an era that has seen accelerated technological innovation and advancement with global reach and transformative impacts on every aspect of daily life. This is an exciting age of disruption, reshaping how we think, behave, and also engage with our environment. Psychology and Disruptive Technologies offer the unique opportunity to study psychology and understand human behaviour in combination with disruptive technologies that are fundamentally transforming lives and driving behavioural and societal change, sometimes raising challenges. It does so by providing an accredited pre-professional route to further training in Psychology and applied progression routes in Disruptive Technologies, coupled with employment opportunities in careers where high-level digital innovation, transformative values and problem-solving skills are prized; where the advanced interpretation of data and human behaviour is critical; where awareness of how to address challenges posed by disruptive technologies is key, and where graduates have the collaborative and transferable skills required to move forward in a society filled with digital and technological innovation. The 4-year programme is structured to cover introductory to advanced levels of psychology across the five core pillars of undergraduate training: developmental and lifespan psychology; biological psychology; social psychology; cognitive psychology; and the psychology of individual difference. A core focus running throughout the programme is research literacy supported by a combination of practical and virtual laboratory activities and digital innovation based on cutting-edge technologies that positively disrupt the status quo and underpin societal change. The course will cover a dynamic range of applied areas and cutting-edge options from the Psychology of Innovation and Disruption across diverse education, health, business and industry settings. Throughout the programme, you will also develop a detailed understanding of the theories and innovations of disruptive technologies that significantly reshape the world that we live in, and also examine mechanisms for building trust in digital interactions.
