Program Overview
The scientific study of the mind, brain, and behaviour. Focus on building and testing theories to explain how people interact with each other and the world around them using experimental and observational methods. How competitive: Edinburgh usually makes offers to the highest-qualified applicants. In recent years most applicants needed from 34 points with 655 at HL to 37 points with 666 at HL to receive an offer, and some years are more competitive than others, so 34 does not guarantee one.
