The foundation year will help students on their way to achieving this full degree, accredited by the British Psychological Society, designed to give them the knowledge and expertise that allows them to kick start a successful career in psychology.
For students who are passionate about pursuing a career in psychology but do not have the required qualifications for direct entry then the Integrated Foundation Year offers a supportive alternative route into Higher Education.
In years two to four, half of students' course will be practical, focusing on research techniques, qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, data handling and analysis skills, laboratory reports and communication skills. They will learn from industry-expert tutors through lectures and seminars. Students will be encouraged to engage in career-enhancing voluntary work, giving them hands-on experience.
Students will be eligible to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS). The skills, knowledge and understanding they gain from the course will help them access a range of rewarding professions within psychology.
