Combining Education Studies and Psychology takes you on a journey into the interwoven areas of education and psychology. On this joint honours degree, you’ll experience both the theoretical and practical sides of psychology, as you explore how we think and how we learn.
The course emphasises “real world” learning through research and placements, supported by classroom teaching in the form of lectures and seminars as you examine educational models in a wide range of contexts. Students graduate with knowledge and experience that will open doors in a variety of different industries.
When you choose to combine Psychology with another subject in a Joint Honours degree you will not receive the BPS accreditation as this pathway does not provide full coverage of mandatory BPS curriculum content. However, there is flexibility to switch to Single Honours at the end of the first year if you wish to receive a BPS accredited Psychology degree.
