Program Description

OVERVIEW

Our Psychology and Education BPS accredited degree will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the mind and behaviour to examine how young children and adolescents learn and develop within an educational setting. You will explore a range of topics that focus on how psychology impacts everyday life including biological bases of behaviour, cognition, individual differences, human social interaction and lifespan development. To bring your learning to life, you will design and conduct your own psychological studies in our state-of-the art laboratories, for example conducting experiments or designing surveys.


Education modules have a strong focus on contemporary issues in education and policy making. You will consider topics including education's relationship to the economy, the nature of learning, childhood and educational inclusion, as well as the history of education.In your final year you will have the opportunity to tailor your degree to your career aspirations or interests by choosing from a range of optional modules such as: Psychology of Climate Change, Health and Disease, Models of Cognition, and Race, Politics and Education.You will also work on a final year project. This is an exciting opportunity to conduct a piece of research on a topic of your choice. You will work with an academic supervisor to develop a scientific research question you can address. Examples of student projects from previous years include:
  • Bullying in higher education
  • Factors affecting attainment
