About the course
This course offers a unique opportunity to develop both an understanding of psychological theory, and how it can be applied in the context of education to help children, young people and adults learn. Our teaching is informed by cutting-edge research conducted by world-leading academics who work across psychology, education, and their intersection.
Teaching on the Psychology in Education degree is influenced by the ‘world-leading’ and ‘internationally excellent’ research of our academic staff within the highly ranked School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences and the Mathematics Education Centre. This ensures that your learning reflects real-world issues, while building your core psychological knowledge and skills and ability to apply them to education settings.
You can choose from two different options of full-time study: a three-year course offering the award of BSc (Psychology in Education); and a four-year course (with a placement year between years 2 and 3) offering the awards of BSc (Psychology in Education) and a Diploma in Professional Studies or the Diploma in International Studies. Transfer between the three and four-year psychology course options is normally possible.
Our Psychology in Education degree will be of special interest to students interested in working in an education setting and with children or young people. It provides an ideal foundation for postgraduate study such as a PGCE, educational psychology training or any area of professional psychology.
