Year Two
In the second year, you build on material introduced in your Psychology modules in Year One (PSYC1016, PSYC1017 and PSYC1018) and will extend your knowledge and understanding to cover material in-depth from key areas of psychology, such as Social Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, and Developmental Psychology. Interactive research methods modules in Education and Psychology will extend your preparation for your final year Empirical Project. On top of this, a range of option module choices allow you to begin to apply cognitive processes to education and learning (EDUC2045) and develop your understanding of how learning takes place within different educational contexts (EDUC2038). Together, Year One and Two provide an excellent basis from which you can make informed choices between more flexible pathways in Year Three, and should enable you to carry out high-quality work. Note that if you want your degree to be eligible for BPS accreditation then you must take EDUC2045 Cognitive Psychology in Education as one of your options.
