Course summary
Untangle the relationship between learning, development and psychological disorders. Understand the core concepts of psychology and what makes humans tick. Apply your learning with work placements in educational settings on this degree accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Discover the learning and development of children and young people on our educational psychology degree.
We’ve designed this course to focus on psychology and the human brain, with some modules looking at the core theory through an educational lens. You’ll explore how conditions like autism and ADHD impact behaviour, social interaction and learning.
Unravel the human mind
Investigate the four key areas of psychology (social, developmental, biological and cognitive), as well as the relationship between brain and behaviour. Delve into the fascinating functions of the brain including memory, intelligence, personality and individual differences.
How do thinking, language and emotion enable us to process what goes on around us? And how do social influences alter our individual behaviour? We’ll investigate the answers to these questions and more during your time on this course.
Apply your skills on placement
As you discover what influences motivations and behaviours in an educational setting, you’ll test your skills hands-on. The BSc (Hons) Educational Psychology course includes a work placement. Bring techniques and strategies for learning, teaching and assessments to life in a school or other educational-based setting.
