The Foundations of Psychology (PSYC001)
This module provides an introduction to the foundational theories and approaches to psychology as a discipline. Psychodynamic, behaviourist, cognitive, humanistic, and systemic approaches are discussed, alongside their associated methodologies. Consideration is also given to how an understanding of these theories and approaches can contribute to other modules studied by the students enrolled in this programme year.
The Psychology of Everyday Experience (PSYC002)
Students are introduced to psychological research into various aspects of everyday experience. They gain an appreciation of how life experiences are related to psychological knowledge, and learn how to apply psychological theory to world events. Lectures are supported by workshops and tutorials (or online equivalents) using a blended learning approach.
Psychological Influences on Health and Behaviour (PSYC003)
This module introduces the psychology of choices and behaviour, with an emphasis on health. We will examine health behaviours and risks with a consideration of how these are influenced by psychological factors. Students will design and run a small research project in groups, with a poster presentation forming the module assessment. Lectures are supported by workshops.
Connecting Psychology (PSYC005)
Connecting Psychology provides an interdisciplinary exploration of how psychological principles intersect with societal structures and healthcare practices. Students examine the impacts of power and inequality, explore the psychology of behaviour, and learn about translating theory into practical interventions in healthcare and social care settings. Lectures are supported by workshops.

...I was in my twenties, and I went to a party and I met somebody who told me for the first time about the existence of a field called cognitive psychology… a field in which people study how the brain and mind work… it was a revelation…
