Whether you choose to study part-time, full-time or with placement, you’ll get access to the best teaching during your degree.
The course emphasises the application of psychological knowledge to everyday life and experience. We will teach you about the relevance of general psychology and forensic and criminological psychology to a wide range of contemporary issues and you will learn through a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, debates and practicals.
As well as subject skills and knowledge, you will develop highly transferrable skills that are valued by employers in communication, problem solving, interpersonal skills, numeracy, teamwork, critical thinking, computing and independent learning.
Modules
Each module is worth a specified number of credits. Our teaching is informed by research, and modules change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline. We aim to ensure that all modules run as scheduled. If for any reason a module cannot be run we will advise you as soon as possible and will provide guidance on selecting an appropriate alternative module.
In Level 4, you’ll be introduced to the main areas of psychology including research methods, as well as psychology in the justice system, and pathways in forensic and criminological psychology.
Level 5 focuses in more depth on developmental and biological perspectives in psychology, where you’ll delve deeper into qualitative and quantitative research methods, and the psychology of crime and serious offending.
At Level 6 you will undertake an empirical research project, social and cognitive perspectives, and forensic applications of psychology. You also have the choice to undertake optional modules art both levels 5 and 6, examples include Psychological Interventions, Cyberpsychology, Research Assistantship, and Behavioural Medicine. A crucial part of becoming a psychologist is learning to understand, conduct, and analyse scientific research. As with all high-quality undergraduate psychology degrees, this means our courses feature modules that focus on teaching these skills. Practical experience with industry-standard SPSS statistics software teaches students to answer a wide variety of research questions by interrogating complex datasets. We take great care in closely guiding students through this learning process (via small group teaching, group work with peers, support clinics and step-by-step guides) supporting our students in preparation for the increasingly data-driven world.
