  • Objectives
    In Year 1, you will learn about the basic subject areas of psychology. Throughout the degree you will be made aware of current research – its methods, applications and unresolved issues – and learn how to evaluate research and carry it out yourself. You will increasingly learn how to apply your knowledge to chosen areas of interest and will be encouraged to develop your own interests through your choice of final year optional modules and project topic. Project topics chosen by recent students show a diverse range of interests, e.g. 'Healthy food preferences in young children', 'The effects of attractiveness on eyewitness identification', 'The effects of age and dual tasking on driving performance', and 'Implanted false memory'.
  • Entry requirements
    There are different entry qualifications for each programme. Some programmes require you to have a certain amount of knowledge in a subject before you begin the degree programme – this is called a ‘subject requirement’. Other programmes do not have any specific subject requirements. All programmes will, however, expect you to have reached a certain standard in your education and will ask you to achieve certain grades in your examinations. Most programmes have a standard offer so that you know in advance what you are likely to need. Please note that even if you have the minimum entry qualifications, you are not necessarily guaranteed a place on the degree programme.
