Psychology at Leeds
"The Institute of Psychological Sciences offers a BSc Psychology degree that draws on the wealth of
research undertaken by academic staff.
Students will come face-to-face
with some of the most talented researchers in the UK, right from the
start of their programme of study.
The topics covered include those
required by the British Psychological Society, and the course is fully
accredited.
The ethos is of an 'apprenticeship' model, whereby students
have the opportunity to work with and learn from psychologists with
high levels of expertise in their respective subject areas. There is
stress on practical work - 'hands on' psychology - that is key to understanding
the subject, and students are taught to design, run, analyse and write
up their own research. This degree equips students with excellent skills
in numeracy, literacy, critical thinking and analysis, and puts them
in a strong position. Graduates with a BSc in Psychology from the University of
Leeds have a very broad range of career options." |
