Psychology

Assessment

All assessment is by externally examined written papers. There are three papers (2 hours each) at the end of the second year. Questions will be a combination of short answer, multiple choice and extended writing responses. The maximum mark allocated to any one question is 16 and this equates to 500-600 words of extended writing. Please note that 10% of the marks available will assess mathematical skills (statistics). In addition, all papers will require an understanding of the research methods and techniques used by psychologists.
