Course summary
The BSc Psychology (Sports and Exercise Psychology) programme explores the foundations of psychology in relation to the application of sport and exercise. Students will have the opportunity to gain a wealth of theoretical knowledge relating to the science behind how we think, act, and interact with others. They will be able to build on this foundational knowledge in their second and third years of study with a series of modules delivered by academics from the School of Sport and Exercise Science, which aim to develop students' conceptual and practical understanding of the fundamental role that psychology plays in maximising athletes' sport performance, enhancing physical activity levels, and nurturing healthy behaviours. The programme is taught by research-active academics with specialist expertise in areas such as cognitive neuropsychology, sport and exercise psychology, mental health, body image, and attentional processing. Students will have the opportunity to develop the skills to design and conduct their own independent research projects, within an area relevant to their interests with access to the University's range of modern psychology and research laboratories.

Assessment method
The aims of the module assessments are to measure the development and attainment of course outcomes, including the developing key skills such as critical analysis and evaluation. Accordingly, the nature of the assessment varies across the three years of study and may further vary between different modules. Assessments in year one and two focus on the acquisition and understanding of knowledge and skills. In contrast, the year three assessments place far greater emphasis on the ability to apply, analyse and evaluate knowledge. Examples of assessment methods that may be used include essays, in-class tests, research reports, research diaries, research or clinical proposals, and dissertations; practical exams, such as poster and oral presentations, or observations; and written exams (including essay-based exams), such as formal examinations, or in-class tests. The University of Lincoln's policy is to ensure that staff return assessments to students promptly. Psychology students currently receive feedback within a 20-working day period on large modules and 15-working day period on smaller modules.

Additional fee information
For each course students may find that there are additional costs. These may be with regard to the specific clothing, materials or equipment required, depending on their subject area. Some courses provide opportunities for students to undertake field work or field trips. Where these are compulsory, the cost for the travel, accommodation and meals may be covered by the University and so is included in the fee. Where these are optional students will normally (unless stated otherwise) be required to pay their own transportation, accommodation and meal costs.
With regards to text books, the University provides students who enrol with a comprehensive reading list and our extensive library holds either material or virtual versions of the core texts that students are required to read. However, students may prefer to purchase some of these for themselves and will therefore be responsible for this cost
