You study a wide coverage of the field of psychology with opportunities to specialise your studies as you progress through the course, empowering you to make informed and rational decisions about your future career.
In Year 1, you study several compulsory modules and take one elective module. Compulsory modules include a general introduction to scientific psychology, research design and data analysis, topics in cognitive psychology, social psychology, and individual differences.
Reflecting the research-intensive department that you will be joining, you will begin writing research lab reports from the very start of your studies, as well as beginning to learn R, a programming language used in data analysis and presentation. Your elective module can be selected from any open module from across UCL with many students choosing modules in forensic psychology, neuroscience, or linguistics.
There are no optional or elective modules in Year 2, but your learning will continue in the areas of developmental psychology, health and clinical psychology, language and cognition, perception, and the neurological underpinnings of behaviour. You continue your studies in research design and data analysis. You are encouraged to think about future research and career opportunities by the end of the second year.
In your final year, you select all your modules from a wide number of options taught across psychology. This allows you to specialise your studies in particular areas that interest you, with optional modules available in areas such as educational psychology, cognitive neuroscience, organisational psychology, and computer programming. You benefit from being able to tailor your studies to future career goals and further study options.
As a challenging yet rewarding culmination of your three years of studying, you also undertake a research project on a subject of your choice and become embedded in one of the research departments within the faculty. Your research project similar to a dissertation on other courses will be supervised by a member of academic staff and will be an empirical and usually experimental piece of research which utilises the skills you have learned.
