Introduction
The single honours programme provides students with a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise within the subject. The programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Registration
The main aim of the tutorial system is to provide a sound basis for transition to level two of the programme. The tutorial programme also includes a series of scheduled one-to-one meetings. These personal tutorials aim to support the student's personal development and continue over the three years of the degree.
At levels 2 and 3, students have a high degree of choice in the range of option modules that complement the core topics. The options focus on areas of cutting-edge research, vocational areas and specialist applied topics. The specialist research areas within the department include cognitive neuropsychology, vision and attentional processing, infant cognition and language, mental health, forensic psychology, and life span development. In the final year, student choice determines 75% of the programme, including the final year Independent Study (a major research project on a topic of your choice).
