There will be plenty of opportunities for you to explore and evaluate the latest psychological research and developments to illustrate and strengthen arguments, discussing issues in small groups as part of an active learning experience. In the first year, you will study social, cognitive and biological psychology and learn theories (behavioural psychology). Alongside each topic you will participate in a practical research exercise, gathering data and analysing the results in relation to theories. This practical research exercise must adhere to ethical principles in both content and intention. While in your second year, you will study clinical psychology along with criminological psychology, child or health psychology. You will have the opportunity to join field trips to bring your studies to life, including visits to the London Freud Museum, Bethlem Royal Psychiatric Hospital in London and to psychological exhibitions in London. Research methods, issues and debates will be studied for each unit and you will benefit from the drop-in support offered by the Psychology Department.
All candidates are expected to achieve a minimum of five GCSEs at grade 9 to 5, including English and Maths, and at least grade 7 in the A Level subjects to be studied, or equivalent subjects.
Three exams at the end of the course.
