Note: It is ultimately your responsibility to ensure that you are registered for the correct modules for your programme. Students should ensure that their optional modules are as equally balanced as possible between the Autumn and Spring terms. Although we do our best to make sure you get some of your choices, because some modules are more popular than others and we cannot run any module with too few students, we cannot always guarantee it. The programmes indicated with the † symbol are accredited by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Society with Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, provided you pass the empirical psychology project and gain at least a Second Class Honours degree. This is the first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist. All the following modules must be taken in order to qualify for BPS recognition: SP500, SP528, SP529, SP604, SP605, SP619, SP620, and one of SP581, SP582, SP583 or SP600.
The Psychology programmes indicated with the are accredited by the Association for Business Psychology.
