Course Overview

Psychology and the exploration of the mind have been discussed for millennia, although its still young as a practice. This course will help you develop a scientific understanding of the different perspectives and theoretical approaches within the core areas of psychology, and the relations between them. Youll learn how psychology is influenced by many different factors. Through our modules, youll see how physiology can influence someone, with the way our bodies react to the chemicals they create, the impact of external influences, like society, how different languages change the way you look at the world, and the importance of childhood development. Youll also learn how to design research projects, from the first idea through to how to make it work, explore different research methods, and gain the skills to manage a project ethically and professionally. Youll design and conduct your own research project, and acquire all the skills required by the British Psychological Society (BPS) to register with them as a graduate member (in order to be eligible to register you will need an overall pass mark of 50% in your degree).
