Psychology with Education BSc

An exciting three-year interdisciplinary programme which covers cognitive, social, developmental, clinical, perceptual, and biological aspects of psychology, as well as an exploration of their application in education. You will be taught by internationally recognised experts in teaching and research.
The UCL Institute of Education (IOE), has been ranked first for education worldwide for the last five years (QS World University Rankings by Subject) and was awarded the Queen's Annversary Prize for Higher and Further Education 2015.
The degree offers you the opportunity to study psychology even if you do not have a background in science and equips you with the knowledge and skills for a wide range of professions such as educational or clinical psychology, counselling, research, teaching, healthcare, marketing and human resources.
We run interactive sessions and use a variety of assessment methods including essays, exams, presentations and portfolios to allow students of diverse abilities and backgrounds to demonstrate their knowledge and build on their reflection and critical thinking skills.

You will acquire quantitative and qualitative skills based on the scientific methods of psychology and its application to education by critically evaluating research data and conducting your own research studies. You will have also developed a range of highly transferable skills including problem-solving, communication, essay-writing and critical thinking.

This degree provides the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS), an entry requirement for many BPS-accredited postgraduate courses (e.g. educational or clinical psychology). Alternatively, you may wish to pursue a career in research, healthcare, teaching or other education settings; or even in business, management, marketing and human resources.

English Language and Mathematics at grade B or 6. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.

UK applicants for graduate membership and the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) require a minimum of a lower second-class Bachelor's degree and need to have passed their final-year research project. Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership is required for entry to all accredited postgraduate and doctoral programmes as part of the route to becoming a Chartered Psychologist.
