#Psychology BSc (Hons)

Follow your own interests

During the final stage of this online course, in addition to the compulsory core areas of Psychology you can also choose from a range of optional modules, allowing you to follow your own interests. These may be in areas such as Addictive Behaviours, Applied Psychology and Ergonomics or Autism, Asperger’s and ADHD.

With a choice of start dates – September, February or May – and interactive online learning materials, you have the flexibility to study at the most convenient time and place for you. Course modules still operate within a fixed trimester but you can choose to study during the day, in the evenings or at the weekend rather than having to attend fixed lectures.

Accredited and non accredited routes

Learning online provides plenty of opportunities to interact with our expert online tutors and your fellow students.

As an online student hoping to gain Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the BPS you must also attend a one week residential held at the University of Derby’s Kedleston Road campus. The residential week provides you with the opportunity to experience different aspects of psychology, such as experimental design, running practical exercises in labs, group data collection and statistics.

If you are unable to attend the residential week, or you don't need GBC you can take an alternative module instead and graduate with a non-accredited BSc (Hons) Psychological Studies.
