Social Psychology BSc (Hons)
Year 1 introduces students to quantitative and qualitative research methods, problem-based learning and working as a psychologist. It introduces different approaches within psychology - personality, social, developmental, cognitive and biological - illustrating how they lead to distinct perspectives on key research questions, and to the methods psychologists use to answer these questions.
In Year 2, students continue their study of different research methods, exercising greater independence in their practical work. Under the guidance of their supervisor, they develop a research proposal focusing on an aspect of social psychology.
In Year 3, students take a number of specialist modules in their chosen area of social psychology. Advanced knowledge of research methods and analytical skills is acquired, and students undertake an extended research project in their chosen area of social psychology.
Students on the programme get a strong grounding in qualitative and quantitative psychological methods and develop professional and transferable skills.
The programme is accredited as conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS, provided the minimum standard of qualification of second class Honours is achieved. This is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist. On graduation, students are not qualified to practice as a specialist psychologist without further training.
Erasmus Exchange (optional)
The University has Erasmus Exchanges with the University of Gdansk and the Warsaw School of Social Psychology in Poland, La Sapienza, University of Rome, Italy, University of Paris René Descartes, France, and the University of Limerick, Ireland. Students can apply to visit for a semester, with much of the cost met by a living allowance granted by the European Union.

Many of our graduates choose to go on to further study. Students graduating with the BPS accredited BSc with a minimum of a lower second class Honours, are eligible to proceed to postgraduate training in professional psychology to become a Chartered Psychologist in an area such as clinical, educational, occupational, sport and exercise or forensic psychology. Graduates in work typically enter caring professions, or work as managers, public service, business or health professionals.
The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) record collects information about what those completing university go on to do six months after graduation. The Careers Service undertakes DLHE on an annual basis through surveys and a data collection process. DLHE is designed and strictly controlled by HESA.
While DLHE provides accurate information about first destinations, this data needs to be viewed with some degree of care. Six months after leaving university is often a time of much uncertainty and change for leavers; many will be unsure of their long-term career plans and may take a temporary job or time out. The destinations of graduates only six months out of university do not necessarily reflect longer term career success and are therefore a crude measure of employability. Therefore, DLHE data should be viewed as merely a 'snapshot' of one particular year's experiences at a specific point in time.
