Modules

In your first year, modules provide a foundation of knowledge and skills across the breadth of psychology. Immersive modules integrate theory and practical workshops to provide a deeper exploration and of the psychology of learning and relationships. You will learn about the current debates in psychology, and how our knowledge connects and informs other disciplines. In your second year, there will be a focus on developing research and practical skills. You will get additional hands-on experience in designing and testing your own experiments and get to grips with key concepts in cognitive, developmental, social, and clinical psychology. In your third year, you can explore the areas of psychology and neuroscience that interest and benefit you the most, with complete freedom of choice across a wide range of current psychology and neuroscience topics, allowing you to shape the psychologist and neuroscientist you want to become. You will also work on a research question of your own choosing in a supervised psychology or neuroscience-focused research project. In the final year, core modules deliver advanced instruction on the fundamental underpinnings of human neuroscience. In-depth knowledge of neuro-anatomy, pharmacology, and physiology provide the context for technical instruction on the applications of human neuroimaging techniques and data handling. Elective modules provide in-depth knowledge of the physics and key theoretical issues in neuroimaging research. These then form the basis for skills-based training in the practical aspects human neuroimaging, with hands-on advanced practice across a range of cutting-edge brain imaging methods. Finally, with supervision and guidance of world-class neuroimaging researchers you will bring your new knowledge and skills to bear on a research question of your own choosing in the neuroscience research project.
