Programme structure and features |
Full details of the degree programme and structure can be seen at <http://www.drps.ed.ac.uk>
Students who wish to be eligible for the British Psychological Society's Graduate Basis for Registration must take the Dissertation in Psychology. (This MUST be taken in Final Year).
Full details of all the courses offered in each year are provided in the Psychology course guides at http://www.psy.ed.ac.uk/psy_students/undergraduate/index.php
Courses are taught through a combination of lectures and tutorials. Optional courses in Years 3 and 4 are taught through seminars. The programme is designed in such a way that transferable skills are acquired in tandem with the intellectual and practical skills outlined above. There are also more specific associations between transferable skills and learning methods, such as the development of teamwork skills in small-group practical teaching, and the development of oral and visual presentation skills in practical classes and lecture courses. Skills are modelled in lectures and/or small groups (e.g. tutorials), including discussion of relationship between specific skills and general principles of the subject area. Independent research projects allow students to take a pro-active role in development of skills most interesting and relevant to their interests.
Progression Requirements – Students are normally expected to have gained 120 credits at the end of each year.
Alternative exit points - Students who do not progress into Honours may graduate after Year 3 with the BA General degree in Humanities and Social Sciences |
