Programme specification:

Psychology has never been so important in terms of influence on educational policy and practice. This is evident in recent international research agendas into evidence based intervention and applications of neuroscience to education. The nexus between Psychology and Education represents an exciting and cutting edge field of study with diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. As research active academics who regularly collaborate across disciplines we are exceptionally well placed to deliver a research informed student experience.

This dynamic programme will give you in depth coverage of all key areas of Psychology and opportunities to apply this to current issues and debates in Education. You will explore the ways in which psychology and education are conceptualised and integrated in different learning contexts. You will consider how the disciplines combined can be applied to real life scenarios and to inform decision making at multiple levels within society. You will be able to select optional modules from both Psychology and Education to extend your knowledge in areas of particular interest to you.

At level 3, you will undertake a placement in a school or a service allied to education which will enable you to understand the relationship between theory and practice and to use insights from Psychology in an educational setting. You will have the opportunity to study abroad or to spend a year working in an appropriate professional setting and to reflect on those experiences. The programme uses a wide variety of teaching methods and assessment techniques to encourage the development of a broad range of analytical and communication skills. It will provide you with a base from which to pursue a career in Education and/or Psychology or in allied fields or to pursue further study at postgraduate level.

b) choose the EDUC/LLLC option in Semester 1 and both PSYC options in Semester 2


Students state their Psychology preferences via an online questionnaire. Level 3 Psychology module numbers are capped to facilitate a range of teaching and assessment methods. While we cannot guarantee places on specific modules or 'first choices' for everyone, we use algorithms developed by the University of Leeds IT Service to ensure that students get as many preferred modules
