Course programme

Year 1

In Year 1, you take eight modules in total. They are defined as either core, compulsory, or optional. You must take both core and compulsory modules. However you can choose two optional modules from an available list. In addition, you must pass (that is, get at least 40% in) each individual core module to progress to Year 2. In contrast, you need only get a qualifying mark (at least 25%) in any individual compulsory or any individual option module to progress to Year 2. Occasionally timetable clashes or other factors may preclude you taking a particular option from another Academic Unit.

Note that the marks you obtain in Year 1 do not count towards your degree.

Year 3

The wide selection of optional modules offered in the final year allows students to specialise in whichever area of psychology they particularly enjoyed during the second year. These seminar courses are based upon individual reading and open discussion of up to date research.

All students must also choose a topic for a literature review and a research paper, which they complete under the supervision of a member of the Academic Unit of Psychology. The research paper will be the culmination of three years research training and will constitute a valuable piece of psychological research, the best example of which will be presented a cash prize by the Academic Unit.
