Intercalated BSc Psychology Structure

1) PSYC1105: Concepts and Methods in Psychology (½ CU)
Students will be introduced to key conceptual issues, methodological approaches and significant findings in scientific psychology, their historical background, and the kinds of empirical evidence on which these findings are based. The distinctive features of the cognitive, biological and social approaches to psychology and the ways in which these approaches have developed and can complement each other will be described.

2) PSYC1203: The Psychology of Individual Differences (½ CU)
This module aims to provide students with an understanding of:

• the dominant theories in intelligence and personality,
• how these theories can be investigated scientifically
• how these theories can be used to assess, describe, explain, and predict human behaviour.
• the principal influences, genetic, biological and environmental, that create these differences.

Intercalating students are required to choose four Level 3 modules.  The intercalated tutor will be able to advise on whether a given selection is appropriate.

This is a piece of empirical/experimental research or computer modelling exercise on any broadly psychological topic. The department has teaching staff able to supervise projects in most areas of psychology, so a wide choice of topics is possible. Subjects studied in the past include post traumatic stress disorder, colour-blindness, effects of exercise on mood, satisfaction with obstetric care, dyslexia and complementary medicine, and neural mechanisms of memory.
A list of possible projects are provided in the induction in May.  For some online statistics support that you may find helpful, click here.
