Our Teaching Staff
Our key resource is our highly qualified and award-winning staff of
academics as well as the team of professional services staff in the School
of Psychology.
Our academic staff consists of a mix of Professors, Senior
Lecturers and Lecturers with a range of research interests
across the breadth of psychology.
We also have a team of four Teaching Fellows whose role
is to offer subject-specific learning support. The Teaching
Fellows offer drop-in and bookable one-to-one tutor meetings
with undergraduate students as well as additional classes
focussed on skills development (e.g. essay writing, library skills,
referencing) or support around specific coursework deadlines
(e.g. supporting completion of the final year project report). The
Teaching Fellows also offer rapid turnaround advice by email, a
service very much valued among students.

Membership of
Professional Institutions
All of our Single and Combined Honours undergraduate psychology
courses are accredited as conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for
Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society, which
is the first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist.
As well as ensuring adequate staffing and resources, the British
Psychological Society requires that we follow a curriculum
comprising eight key areas in psychology as follows: Social
Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Psychology,
Biological Psychology, Individual Differences, Research
Methods, Conceptual and Historical Issues, and a Final Year
Project incorporating data collection and analysis.

Students should note that to be awarded GBC by the British
Psychological Society they must pass their final year project and
achieve a minimum standard of qualification of second class
Honours. Keele students who take part in the Study Abroad
programme may need to take supplementary module/s in their
final year to ensure their eligibility for GBC. Our dedicated Study
Abroad Tutor will be on hand to ensure you make the correct
module choices in this regard.
