Educational Aims of the Course
In line with the defining principles laid down in the benchmarking document, the aims of the BSc (Hons) Psychology programme are to: Develop knowledge and critical understanding of a range of fundamental psychological theory. Produce a scientific understanding of mind, brain, behaviour, and experience, and of the complex interactions between them. Develop knowledge of, and the ability to critically evaluate, experimental methods and key research areas in psychology. Develop students' awareness of a range of real-life applications of psychological theory. Enable students to link theoretical analysis with empirical enquiry. Enrich students' learning experiences and to provide a stimulating and effective learning environment. Promote access to higher education, especially within the local region, whilst maintaining due regard for issues of ability and quality assurance. Enable graduates to enter employment in a wide range of contexts.
Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Lectures and directed independent reading are used to introduce core knowledge. Lectures are supplemented by seminar and workshop activities in which students can explore ideas in more depth and contribute to, and benefit from, peer learning. In addition, students are expected to cover substantive course content through their own directed reading. These approaches are consistent with the learning outcomes of each specific module. In formulating the assessment strategy, the programme team aims to achieve an appropriate match between teaching and learning methods and assessment tasks, including the provision of formative feedback, an appropriate balance of assessment tasks over the programme, and inclusivity of a range of student approaches to learning. A variety of assessment methods is therefore utilised across the programme. Assessment methods include essay assignment, conventional written examinations (using seen and unseen questions),portfolios and research reports. Individual supervision meetings support students in developing, conducting and reporting an empirical investigation in psychology.
