Programme summary

1. Programme Aims

The overarching aim of the Psychology BSc is to provide graduates with the basic skills to be able to begin a career as a chartered psychologist. This is achieved by meeting the programme standards for the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Pschological Society (BPS). Psychology programmes, like ours, which have this accreditation, must demonstrate that they equip graduates with the necessary skills to start on the path to becoming a professional in the field.  This means demonstrating that we:

• equip students with intellectual, practical and transferable skills required for a career as a chartered psychologist
• develop and promote independent learning
• develop knowledge of a range of research skills and methods for investigating experience and behaviour
• promote and provide, where appropriate, a multi-disciplinary educational experience
