COURSE CURRICULUM

This psychology course offers a comprehensive and practice-focused curriculum designed to prepare students for a wide range of professional training pathways and careers in applied psychology. The core modules in Clinical Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology provide students with a strong foundation in understanding mental health conditions, neuropsychological functioning, and evidence-based interventions. Educational Psychology introduces key theories and practices related to learning, development, and the psychological needs of children and young people within educational settings. A significant component of the course is the self-directed research project, which enables students to explore a topic of personal or professional interest in depth, either in the form of a traditional dissertation or a research article suitable for publication. The psychology placement is another vital element, offering hands-on experience in a professional environment and the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. Students also have the option to explore specialised areas such as Health Psychology, which focuses on psychological factors influencing health and illness, or Forensic Psychology, which delves into the intersection of psychology and the criminal justice system. This combination of mandatory and optional modules ensures a well-rounded education while allowing for personalisation according to career aspirations. The course encourages critical thinking, ethical practice, and the development of practical skills essential for further professional training or entry into the workplace.
