Bath, England, United Kingdom

B.Sc (Hons) - PSYCHOLOGY

Overview 

The programme begins at a modest pace and ends by opening up conceptual and career possibilities that you may not have previously considered.

We begin by introducing you to the five main psychological perspectives: biological, cognitive, developmental, individual differences and social, alongside research methods. Additionally, the historical and conceptual underpinnings of Psychology will be explored throughout.

Course Structure 

Year one
You’ll take a module that introduces you to the main psychological approaches – social, cognitive, developmental, individual differences and biological psychology (PS4001-40 Introduction to Psychology). You’ll also take modules in research methods including survey work and experimentation (PS4002-20 Research methods and Statistics), and Individual Differences (PS4003).

Year two
As you progress, the main areas covered in your first year are studied in greater depth in dedicated individual modules. Students on the single honours course have the option to choose a placement module. Those taking major or single honours Psychology will benefit from more advanced courses in research methods.

In Years two and three, you’ll be able to study the scholarly specialities of individual members of staff, such as Health Psychology, Criminological Psychology, and Neuropsychology. This means that for each of the modules, your tutor will have specific expertise and will be engaged in scholarly activity in that area.

Year three
You’ll continue your learning, with the same opportunities to study specialist topics as in year two. For those taking Psychology as a major or single honours course, there will also be a dissertation which involves working one-to-one with a member of staff on an original research project in Psychology.

Note that module choices may differ depending on route-way. Single honors students may opt to take a placement module in year two.

Campus Information

NEWTON PARK

There can’t be many campuses that rival Newton Park. The parkland estate has everything you’d expect from a modern university, as well as a castle and a lake. All this and it's only four miles from the buzz of central Bath.

Job Opportunity Potential

We’ve got lots to share with you and to help we have split our work into three elements which will support you with:

  • Exploring your options
  • Gaining valuable experience
  • Progressing your ideas and career plans

At Bath Spa we believe you are continually exploring your options and experiencing different pathways to progression, but that this journey is not linear. It keeps on going throughout your time with us and when you leave. Some of our services cross all three areas and allow you to explore, experience and progress all in one, such as The Bath Spa Award.

We encourage you to read resources and attend events across all stages of Explore, Experience and Progress as they will offer beneficial insight and development opportunities regardless of the current stage you are at in your career journey.
