  Programme
  
  Year one
  
  You are introduced to the core areas of biological, cognitive, developmental and social psychology, and personality and individual differences. Lectures and tutorials on these core areas are accompanied by lectures in statistical methods and practical classes, teaching you to plan, conduct and report psychology experiments.
  
  Year two
  
  Psychology modules follow on from the core first year courses, tackling similar topics in greater depth and dealing with more advanced theoretical problems. You develop an increasing independence in your practical work, which comprises a series of five-week group projects.
  
  Year three
  
  One third of your credits come from a year-long research project. In this you will design and carry out the research yourself with supervision from a staff member. You will choose further credits from a range of advanced specialist modules in both applied and theoretical topics, one of which may also be developed into a dissertation.
