Understanding psychology is essential for helping children to learn, develop and fulfill their potential. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology in Education course will give students the knowledge, skills and competencies that are prized by employers, such as critical thinking and research abilities.
It is taught by staff including internationally respected academics in the fields of psychology and education. This course allows students to study core areas of psychology as well as applying psychological theory and research to educational settings involving children, adolescents and adults.
It offers two different options of full-time study: a three-year course offering the award of Bachelor of Science (Psychology in Education); and a four-year course (with a placement year between years 2 and 3) offering the awards of Bachelor of Science (Psychology in Education) and a Diploma in Professional Studies or the Diploma in International Studies. Transfer between the three and four-year psychology course options is normally possible.
The course will be of special interest to students interested in working in an education setting and with children or young people. It provides an ideal foundation for postgraduate study such as a PGCE, educational psychology training or any area of professional psychology.
