Are you interested in how psychology can help people understand themselves and support the wellbeing of others?
Accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), the course develops your understanding of the biological, cognitive, developmental, social, and individual differences perspectives that underpin contemporary psychology, preparing you for a wide range of careers and further study.
This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree.
This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting.
The Foundation Year in Psychology will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study.
During your Foundation Year, you will undertake modules to enable you to enhance your academic skills and equip you with the tools you’ll need to study with confidence. You’ll carry out a personal project so you can study an area of interest related to your chosen future subject specialisation.
You’ll be introduced to the main perspectives, investigation methods, key theories, research and controversies across the main areas of psychology. You'll study quantitative and qualitative approaches to research and learn about the application of psychology in a professional context in each of the British Psychological Society (BPS) professional areas.
Following successful completion of the Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto the first year of our Psychology (with Counselling Perspectives) BSc (Hons) degree.
Professionally accredited courses provide industry-wide recognition of the quality of your qualification.
