BSc (Hons) Psychology
Middlesex University Dubai
Course Overview
Middlesex Dubai's BSc (Hons) Psychology is a three-year British degree (awarded by Middlesex University London) delivered at the Dubai Knowledge Park campus and accredited by the UK Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and the British Psychological Society (BPS) — giving graduates Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS, the gateway to clinical and counselling psychology Master's anywhere in the UK or Commonwealth. Core modules cover biological, cognitive, developmental, social, and clinical psychology, with statistics, research methods, and an empirical research dissertation in year 3.
Sri Lankan demand for Middlesex Dubai Psychology is rising — Dubai's mental health and corporate wellness sector is expanding rapidly, and graduates can either work directly in HR/coaching/UX research at Gulf-based firms or use the BPS-accredited degree as a launchpad into a Clinical Psychology Master's in the UK, Australia or Sri Lanka. Lower fees than the UK home campus (AED 68,686 vs £18,500) plus 0% tax post-graduation make this a popular alternative to a UK degree.
