Pre-University Psychology (Session 1)

Pre-University Summer School courses helps prepare students for university. The course offers an in-depth exploration of a subject area at degree-level and improves students’ understanding of university study. Our courses provide insight into the key debates, themes and cutting-edge research areas of a subject. Students will have the opportunity to collaborate on group assignments and experience social learning which are central elements of undergraduate study.

This course will encourage you to think critically and adopt problem-based learning to see how insights from research can be applied to real world issues. Our Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience is one of the world’s leading centres for interdisciplinary research in psychiatry and psychology, and you will gain a valuable insight into this field of study. 

By the end of the module, you should have:

• experienced a variety of learning activities typical of a first-year undergraduate degree in Psychology
• built on your existing knowledge of core topics covered in a first-year undergraduate degree in Psychology
• carried out independent research on a given topic and produced a structured and well supported response to an assignment brief
• worked collaboratively in diverse groups to produce a presentation
