Psychology Foundation Course
Introduction
This one year full-time Foundation course, based at our
London campus, offers a grounding in
psychology alongside study skills necessary to continue higher
education at degree level in a psychology or a
related subject.
Foundation course students learn theoretical and practical
experience in psychology, important transferable skills for
higher education.
Course Aims & Objectives
The underlying aim of the Foundation in
Psychology course is to provide a challenging yet enjoyable
overview of many aspects of psychology and gradually introducing
theoretical, methodological and practical elements. This
provides prospective psychology degree applicants with a head
start and a thorough foundation on which to build their future
study.
Holistic Approach to Psychology
The programme covers not only the typical core
areas of psychology but also applied psychologies, statistics,
research methods and topics drawn from counselling and
psychotherapy. The course therefore provides a holistic
approach to psychology - rather than focussing on one particular
area or school of thought.
In addition the programme includes essential
study skills, supervised study and the potential to explore
topics in a freer non-pressurised environment in group tutorials.
As a student centred course, all students are offered
pastoral support from a personal tutor as well as the opportunity
to contact individual academics and academic
materials.
With a innovative wide ranging syllabus and
small class sizes, this foundation course
in psychology aims to attract a diverse student
body from varying backgrounds and levels of
experience.
The school facilitates and nurtures an
atmosphere of intrinsic motivation, mutual understanding and
support within a student-centred, professional and responsible
environment.
