BSc (Hons) Psychology with Placement Year – Single Honours
The BSc Single Honours Psychology with Placement
Year follows the same modular structure as our
regular BSc Single Honours Psychology course
except that you spend an additional year between
year 2 and year 3 working with a placement provider
relevant to psychology. This may involve working with
those with learning difficulties, in adult mental health
or in a research environment, allowing you to apply
your psychological knowledge in a relevant practical
setting and gain new skills relevant to a professional
psychology career. The placement year will enable
you to work as a trainee psychologist gaining “on the
job” experience. It will also enable you to develop CV,
interview, presentation and reflection skills.
