Summary
Studying psychology provides valuable insights into human behaviour and enhances self-awareness, interpersonal skills and critical thinking. It enables you to fully understand – and contribute to – important conversations, and opens doors to a wide variety of career paths, as well as serving as the next step in your training to become a qualified psychologist.
Designed for both psychology and non-psychology graduates, this course offers a deep exploration of classical and contemporary theories and research methods. You’ll be introduced to the core branches, including cognitive, biological and developmental psychology, and debate opposing views before you specialise in your area of interest – from motivational psychology to psychopathology.
You’ll examine how and when different approaches should be used and gain a scientific understanding of the human brain and central nervous system – learning how they react to techniques, behaviours, experiences and environments. You’ll also explore human development (identity, emotion social skills) and cognition (perception, attention, memory) before applying this knowledge to your own studies, discussions and debates – for example, whether it’s ethical to predict, and therefore potentially alter, human behaviour.
Working in our campus laboratory, you’ll learn to design studies, conduct experiments, evaluate your evidence and communicate your findings – vastly improving your knowledge of statistical, empirical and qualitative measures, as well as your statistical analysis of data. Following this, you’ll work on a final research project – further exploring into a topic that interests you.
Throughout the year, you’ll receive high levels of support and feedback from academic experts, tutors and industry professionals. Recent examples include Dr Nayeli Gonzalez-Gomez, Reader in Psychology at Oxford Brookes University, and Dr Niko Kargas, Director of the Autism Research Innovation Centre, University of Lincoln.
You’ll leave Regent’s with deep industry knowledge and the transferable skills to apply to a wide range of careers: from professional psychology to forensics, marketing, education and more – ready to make a positive difference in people’s lives and contribute to the conversation around equality, diversion and inclusion.
Professional accreditation This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), the professional representative body for psychology in the UK. On successful completion, you’ll be eligible for a Chartered Membership (Graduate Basis) – a requirement for any future professional postgraduate training courses in the UK, as well as any courses accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
