Psychology BSc (Hons)
Course code: UC8AG Level: 6
There are only two online BSc (Hons) Psychology degrees in the UK that have been accredited by The British Psychological Society, and this is the most established. We’ve been successfully running this online Psychology degree for eight years and it remains one of our most popular online degrees. Completing an accredited degree is an essential first step to becoming a qualified psychologist. But even if that isn’t your career goal, this is still a fascinating subject to study.
Follow your own interests
During the final stage of this online course, you’ll have the opportunity to choose a high proportion of 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, January 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.
To graduate with BPS accreditation, and a BSc (Hons) Psychology, you will need to attend a one week residential held in Derby. 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 don't need Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) (in order to go on to be a psychologist) you can take an alternative module instead and graduate with a non accredited BSc (Hons) Psychological Studies.
