Curriculum

As a distance learner you’ll cover the same material, and the same amount of material, as if you were doing the Psychology BSc (Hons) on campus.

You’ll spend around 60 per cent of the course studying compulsory modules. We’ll give you a thorough grounding in different aspects of psychology.

Core topics are developmental, social, cognitive, biological and individual difference psychology, as well as research methods and critical thinking.  

Optional modules include forensic psychology, health psychology and mental health.

Whatever you study within this huge and broad School, we’ll encourage you to view it in a sharply critical way. It’s an approach we’ve developed over more than 50 years of teaching.

In your final year you’ll undertake a project on a subject area of your choice, in the course of which you’ll be designing and carrying out original research, as well as analysing and interpreting data. You’ll also have the choice of 11 optional modules – a reflection of the extraordinary breadth of knowledge within our School.
