Based at the prestigious St. Hilda's College, part of the University of Oxford, the course offers students the opportunity to be taught Psychology at a first-year undergraduate level within a prestigious Oxford University setting.

The programme offers 23 hours of tuition per week, delivered in small classes with a maximum of 12 students to ensure individual attention and active participation.
