The Foundation Year is delivered in two semesters. The course is modular in structure and consists of 4 modules specifically designed to ensure that you have the necessary skills and knowledge base to complete a Psychology degree.  These modules are worth 30 credits each and therefore the overall total for the Foundation Year is 120 credits.  The 4 modules are as follows:

 

Foundations of Psychology

This module introduces the core areas of psychology – Cognitive, Bio-Psychology, Developmental and Individual Differences.  In Cognitive Psychology you will be examining the structure and function of memory, looking at areas such as forgetting, problems with access to memory and applications of memory research such as eye witness testimony and mnemonics.  Bio-psychology will look at sleep, dreams and hypnosis.  In Developmental Psychology you will consider different approaches to the topics of gender and personality.  Individual Differences will explore psychological ideas about ‘normality’ and ‘abnormality’ and will look at explanations of psychopathology along with treatments and therapies.

 

Social and Applied Psychology

This module looks at two areas of Social Psychology along with more specialised sections on Environmental Psychology and Psychology of Crime.  Social Psychology looks at topics such as social influence including conformity, obedience, prejudice and discrimination.  Environmental Psychology considers psychological aspects of environmental disasters and catastrophes along with the psychology of crowds and collective behaviour.  Psychology of Crime will consider explanations of crime and offender profiling.

 

Experimental Design and Research Methods

This module introduces key aspects of experimental design and research methods in Psychology.  You will be introduced to a variety of methods including experiments, questionnaires and case studies.  You will be asked to carry out practical investigations using two of these methodologies and you will develop skills to analyse the results of these investigations.
