The cognitive strand explores the cognitive basis of memory, attention, perception, thinking, learning, emotion, and sleep. Through a combination of lectures and laboratory-based practicals you will gain an understanding of the main theoretical and methodological approaches in both fields.
Explore the major perspectives on mental health in psychology, its assessment and therapy/treatment. You will also take a brief overview of the historical perceptions of 'madness'.

You’ll be introduced to and utilise more advanced methods of qualitative data collection and analysis/interpretation, including more creative and contemporary ways of conducting research interviews (e.g. the use of the photo elicitation technique), media text analysis, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis.
Learn about how we think, feel and understand the social world we live in. This will include; how we communicate, think and make sense of our life, and the people we meet in it, how we make sense of ourselves, the relationships we have, and the values we hold about ourselves and others. You’ll also learn about how we may behave and think in the groups we belong to and how we think about and act towards the groups we feel we don’t belong to.
Option modules may include

You'll explore key theories and research methods and learn how to apply them to real-world situations — whether that's helping athletes manage pressure, motivating people to be more active, or understanding how teams work together. Through a portfolio of work, you'll show how these ideas are used in practice by sports psychologists and coaches. Along the way, you'll also look at current research and tackle some of the big questions and challenges in the field. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how psychology helps people perform better, stay active, and thrive in sport and exercise settings.
Explore professional practice within a field of psychology as you engage in a real-world project pertinent to one of these fields, and develop transferrable skills that will enhance your employability.
What you'll learn
Explore some central themes within critical psychology and some philosophical ideas that have informed critical thinking. These will include debates about whether psychology is/should be 'scientific', whether psychology contributes to the oppression or invisibility of certain groups and whether psychology takes sufficient account of context (e.g. cultural, historical, political, ideological, situational etc). You’ll then consider the ways in which mainstream and critical psychologists have conceptualised and studied things like gender, race, ethnicity, social class, 'normality'/'abnormality' and the self, as well as the limitations and implications of these.
Undertake a research project in psychology, and further enhance and showcase the skills you’ve developed through your study of research methods. This module has a strong emphasis on self-management and provides the opportunity to demonstrate your skills in project management, problem-solving, and independent thought.

Health psychologists have expertise in understanding the things that influence people’s health and wellbeing. They use their expertise in psychology to develop interventions to change behaviour. The teaching team on this module have research expertise in several applied health areas: body image and eating disorders, reproductive health, quality of life, shared decision-making, stress, oncology, and health service interventions. You will explore different specialities in health psychology, covering both quantitative and qualitative approaches, to gain an understanding of why people behave the way they do and how to provide services that will meet individuals' needs and promote health and wellbeing.
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the core concepts of organisational psychology. You'll explore topics like job design, leadership, workplace stress and culture, and diversity and inclusion. Through lectures, seminars, and independent study, you'll critically engage with psychological theories and see how they apply to real-world workplace challenges.

You'll also demonstrate a clear understanding of the ethical responsibilities of organisational psychologists, with a focus on promoting fair, healthy and productive work environments.
Explore the key theoretical perspectives used to explore gender and sexuality within psychology. You'll examine how both mainstream and critical approaches have contributed to these areas, and assess psychology's role in shaping our understanding of gender and sexuality over time. Throughout the module, you'll be encouraged to adopt a critical, feminist, inclusive, and intersectional lens when engaging with the topics. You'll also have opportunities to apply your knowledge and critical thinking to real-world contexts and contemporary issues.
Learn and understand the psychology and physiology of stress, and its impact on health. You will explore the effects of stress on the immune system, sleeping behaviours, eating behaviours and cognitive performance. Various potentially stress-reducing interventions that may be beneficial to health (e.g. nutritional supplementation and diet; exercise; coping) will also be discussed in order to further encourage understanding of the biopsychological pathways linking stress and health.
Gain an introduction to clinical and counselling psychology specialisms. You will develop an understanding of a range of common mental health problems, their key symptoms and underlying theoretical explanations (for example, emotional disorders, schizophrenia, personality disorders, eating disorders and addictions) and the ability to critically evaluate the major approaches in the psychological therapies, which may be drawn upon in the alleviation of these problems.
Study forensic psychology, which can be thought of as the intersection between psychology and the criminal justice system. This module typically covers psychology and crime, and psychology and law. It also provides varied opportunities for you to apply your knowledge, understanding and critical thinking to fictitious and real-world contexts,. You'll also celebrate your achievements with a wider audience at an end-of-module poster conference.
Apply your knowledge of developmental psychology to real-life situations. You will focus on educational settings, special educational needs and educational psychology, although other careers and settings are considered: working with children will involve working in multidisciplinary teams to some extent. You will also have the opportunity to reflect on and develop ideas for future careers with children.
