Course summary

OVERVIEW

Your degree in psychology with child development will develop your knowledge and understanding of children and young people from a psychological, cognitive, social, emotional and cultural perspective.

You'll be focusing on why babies, children, adolescents and older people behave the way they do. You'll also design and carry out studies to explore the factors that go to influence adult behaviour.

The aim is to learn how psychologists can use their knowledge to understand individuals and help them to make a positive difference to their life's development.

You'll be studying in one of the largest - and friendliest - schools of psychology in the country, with a huge range of expertise available to you on the campus across a range of subjects.

There are many jobs and careers that are options for you with a BSc Psychology degree. These include jobs within the allied psychology sector, such as: Employment Specialist, Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, Social Prescribing Link Worker, Wellbeing Manager, Mental Health Social Worker, FE Psychology teacher, Research Assistant or Assistant Psychologist, Youth Worker; School Counsellor and support work. Some of these many require further training that we can help you with.

Some of our graduates choose to seek employment in non-psychology areas. These are jobs in areas where there are employers who want psychology graduates, due to the transferable skills you will gain during your studies. These include human resources, market research, civil service, business graduate training schemes, teaching, third sector and charity roles, administration, self-employed or entrepreneur, data work in public and private sectors and allied health professions, nursery management/lead roles.

BSc Psychology is also an essential qualification for students seeking further training and careers in academia, research, clinical, counselling, occupational and educational psychology. All of these options are possible with our BPS-accredited degrees alongside experience. Other postgraduate options that you may wish to specialise include health psychology, sports psychology, neuropsychology or neuroscience, child and adolescent mental health psychology.

HOW YOU'LL BE ASSESSED

Assessment tasks are mainly spread across the year to make the workload manageable. Assessment methods include group works, exams and individual work including essays, presentations, case studies, professional development and practical activities depending on the nature of the course. All grades count towards your module mark. More details will be included in the student handbook and module guides.

The course includes a core, work-based learning module at level 5 (Work-based Learning in Psychology). A minimum of 30 hours work experience is included in the module's study hours. Students are not assessed on their performance in the workplace but on assessments that require them to reflect on the experience, make links to relevant psychology research and theory and to their own personal and professional development.
