Course description
BSc Psychology
Programme
This is a joint honours programme, so in each year, half the time will be spent studying psychology and half studying the other chosen subject. A broad introduction to psychology will be provided in year one concentrating upon key areas such as developmental and social psychology, personality and individual differences. Year two will cover similar topics in much more depth. Year three involves an independent project in either psychology or your other chosen subject. These combined subjects are: Health Studies, Forensic Science, Education Studies, English, Human Resources, Law, Media and Marketing.
In addition you will be able to select from a range of optional modules to suit your interests and aspirations. At present options are:
* Counselling Psychology
* Criminological & Forensic Psychology
* Cultural Psychology and the Media
* Health Psychology
* Mental Health and Society
* Psycholinguistics
* Psychology & Education
* Transitions in Adulthood
The programme focuses upon human rather than animal behaviour with a particular interest in cultural and linguistic aspects of psychology
Part time students will normally participate in half the programme in any one year.
