Assessment
The course intends to mirror the complexity of real-life scenarios in the field of psychology,and consequently, the types of assessments also vary considerably. Traditional exams are generally absent from such programmes, but other evaluation methods are present, in the form of presentations, role-play sessions, real-world research and analysis, etc. This diversity of assessments will enable students to prepare for the complex field of psychology, where practical and transferable skills are vital.
Progression
The successful completion of this programme can enable students to enrol for further studies, in the form of post-graduate degrees – master’s degrees in psychology or specialisations such as Child and Adolescent Mental Health (MSc) for instance. Around 20% of psychology graduates in the UK opt for completing post-graduate degrees in order to enhance their knowledge and job prospects.
