Please be advised that the PBS course structure will be changing. The information below is for current students and those admitted to the course up to and including for the 2023-24 academic year. Students admitted to the course for the 2024-25 academic year and onwards will do undertake their studies through the new course structure, as outlined in the online prospectus.
PBS students take four papers in their second year. Two papers are compulsory, PBS 3: Social and Developmental Psychology, and PBS 4: Cognitive Neuroscience and Experimental Psychology. Students then choose two further optional papers. A list of optional papers available to students is published before the end of the previous academic year, but choices normally includes papers on Biological Anthropology, the History and Philosophy of Science, Neurobiology, Philosophy and Sociology.
