Course summary

What you will study: In your first year, you’ll study core areas of psychology and research methods, to develop your foundations of psychological literacy. This will be supported by small-group skills tutorials. Our first year uses a 'supported transition' approach, so you are specifically taught how to learn effectively at university alongside the course material. In your second year, you’ll learn about contemporary issues that impact every area of psychology. You’ll also complete a module that supports your professional skills development, covering placements, job preparation and career options available in the psychology field. In your final year, you’ll study an advanced critical thinking module and select four optional modules, to specialise and delve deeper into your areas of interest. You’ll also receive supervision from a staff member to conduct your own scientific research project, critically evaluating protocols, data and literature. Professional recognitionBSc (Hons) - British Psychological Society (BPS) Accredited against the requirements for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society (BPS). Research apprenticeship schemeDuring your second year, you’ll be given the opportunity to volunteer as part of our research apprenticeship scheme. On this scheme, you’ll assist academic staff with their latest projects, giving you invaluable insight into a career as a researcher. You’ll work with a variety of professionals, learn about new areas of psychology and develop essential transferrable skills like communication, teamwork and time management. Foundation yearIf you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Psychology Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree.
