Aim of the programme
This course aims to provide a specialist programme in Psychology that meets the requirements of the British Psychological Society (BPS) for Graduate Membership and the Graduate Basis for Chartership (a prerequisite for progression to Chartered Psychologist status); though the programme at City Unity College is not currently accredited, graduates can still apply for the GBC on an individual basis.
In order to achieve compliance to the BPS requirements for GBC, the programme is designed to ensure that students develop a thorough understanding of the core areas in Psychology (biological, cognitive, developmental, social, individual differences and research methods), and of the conceptual and historical context for current theory and knowledge within each of these areas, and have an opportunity to choose from a range of different areas of advanced study of psychological theory and application.
The programme also allow students to acquire an understanding of the empirical bases of the discipline, and equips students with the ability to apply ethical principles from the discipline across different contexts, including conducting ethical research and ethical conduct in the workplace.
The teaching, learning and assessment strategy is designed to enable students to develop and demonstrate competency in a wide range of academic and transferable skills within the context of the discipline, which will also be invaluable in future employment or training.
