At Level Four, students will be introduced to the main disciplines in psychology: Biological, Cognitive, Developmental, Social and Individual Differences. Students will also be given an insight into the scientific methods and techniques used to conduct research in psychology, including the collection and analysis of primary data and the use of psychometric tests.
Tailored around the professional standards within psychology, study at level five will help students build on the insights gained during the previous year and develop their skills in the practical applications of psychological theories. Modules include an Introduction to Neuropsychology, Psychology in Society, and Health Psychology. There will also be an opportunity for students to further their own individual interests through the Minor Research Project module, in which the student will be guided in conducting primary research into an agreed topic.
This personalised learning approach will be continued at level six, with students being able to choose between a number of optional modules, covering topics including Forensic Psychology, Cyberpsychology, Educational Psychology, and Counselling. The main focus of the final year of study is the student's own independent research in the form of the Major Research Project. This offers students the chance to undertake an independent piece of primary research into an area of psychology of their own choosing.
