Year One


The first year of your programme will introduce you to Education and Psychology as academic disciplines. You will study key Education and Psychology modules, which will, for example, introduce you to the contemporary issues in the world of Education, the curriculum in the English educational system, the several different areas of Psychology and the scientific issues relating to the discipline. You will also start a thorough study of research methods.

 

These pages will introduce you to:

  • Year One Modules (including important information on signing up to option modules and BPS Accreditation)
  • The Psychology Academic Unit’s Research Participation Scheme in Year One
  • Information on how to progress to Year Two, your options if you do not meet these criteria, and how to meet BPS requirements in Year One.
 

The marks you achieve in Year One DO NOT contribute towards your final degree classification and grade. However, you must meet the specified standards in order to be able to progress into your second year of study and to attain BPS accreditation. It is important to remember that Year One provides you with an opportunity to develop the knowledge base and skill-set required to complete the degree programme, and to fulfil the academic demands and challenges that you will face in your last two years of study. For these reasons, it is in your own interest to perform as well as possible in your first year.
