Psychology

Overview

What better time to study the mind, mental health and human behaviour than now, with the changes and challenges of our age – pandemic, war, new technologies, economic and social crises and more.

This course offers an exciting learning environment, giving you the freedom to think about what psychology is and what it means to you. You'll discover vastly different ideas and concepts – some familiar and some new – from traditional science to the wilder edges of philosophy, fiction and postmodernism.

Classes are fun and engaging. You'll gain a rich education in classic and contemporary theories, engage in debates, discuss global issues, explore new perspectives and reflect on how people think, feel and interact with the world.

As a BA rather than a BSc, our focus is less on the scientific study and more on building skills that can be applied to a wide range of careers – from HR to marketing. You'll work practically from day one, receiving case studies, designing interventions and applying psychology to a wide range of contexts and job roles – developing skills in self-reflection, critical thinking, data analysis, listening, questioning, academic writing, problem solving and more.

Through a high level of support and feedback from psychologists, academics, experts and industry guests, you'll receive an agile and networked learning environment, where diversity and inclusion are at the heart of a creative and contemporary curriculum.

You'll emerge with the knowledge, skills and confidence to make a positive difference in working with people in the future – whether through onward postgraduate study; in creative, business, or HR work environments; or through further training towards a career as a psychology practitioner.

Foundation option

Year 1

Subject Core

Psychology, BA (Hons)
Psychological Enquiry	What is psychological science? How do psychologists ask questions and draw conclusions? Why do we need methods and paradigms, and how have these changed over time? This module will introduce you to enquiry in psychology, from experimentation and statistical analyses, through to qualitative, participatory, practice-based, and creative arts-based methods. You will learn about quantitative and qualitative analytic and digital techniques, through exploring examples of published work. You will also use these tools yourself to practice asking the diverse kinds of questions psychologists ask, to explore the data collected and to consider possible conclusions and their relevance to contemporary world.
Roots and Branches in Psychology	What are the core perspectives in classical and contemporary psychology? This module provides you with a whistle-stop tour through psychology’s early philosophical and historical beginnings, schools of thought, and key innovators (“roots”), through to its emergence as a multi-faceted group of academic disciplines, and onwards towards the future of contemporary psychology (“branches”). You will explore fundamental approaches and ideas, including your own, to tease out their similarities and differences, and familiarise yourself with the explanatory theories of the classical psychology curriculum – cognitive psychology, social psychology, biological psychology, developmental psychology and individual differences. You will debate contemporary, real-world problems such as the nature-nurture debate, free will versus determinism and the mind-body problem.
Origins of Psychology	How does psychology intersect with evolutionary theory? What can we understand about human behaviour through the study of animals? What do we know about the human brain, cognition, and consciousness? Why do we also talk about the mind in psychology? In this module, you will learn about the material basis of psychology in the body, brain and behaviour. Journeying through biological, neurological, comparative and evolutionary psychology, you will explore the origins of behaviour in the architecture and functions of the brain, and how the brain and the body’s activities are measured. You will learn about the biological and neurological origins of emotions, sex and language, and explore classical and contemporary concepts and theories, such as fight or flight, neuroplasticity, epigenetics and philosophy of mind.
Psychology and Mental Health	What is mental health? How do we determine the boundaries between health and illness? Can mental health be measured? What makes us vulnerable or resilient? This module brings a reflective and contemporary lens to the fields of psychiatric disorder and diagnosis, exploring debates about classification and measurement in mental health, and introducing biopsychosocial understandings of how problems arise and are maintained. You will discover frameworks for understanding mental health – from ancient philosophy, psychoanalysis and existentialism, through to the classification systems professionals use today to inform treatment, and contemporary topics and contexts such as positive psychology and the wellness industry. Through the framework of your own personal and professional development, you will learn about the importance of listening to experts-by-experience, and explore issues of language, power, and discrimination in mental health, considering individual and collective explanations for wellness or illness.
Exploring Industry and Entrepreneurship	The world of work is changing fast; in some sectors, AR, AI and automation have already mechanised the work environment. New and different jobs are rapidly being created, generating fresh industry-related and entrepreneurial opportunities. Global crises have accelerated trends, causing many sectors to rethink their approaches to work. This module provides you with an introduction to the changes being experienced, and the scope of real-world professional activities in relation to your course. Teaching will be delivered by your course team, led by subject experts, and tailored to reflect industry and entrepreneurship in your discipline. You will develop an understanding of how changing local and global trends impact the current and future worlds of work. The focus will be on exploring your industry or sector and its future, with a view to informing your own potential career or entrepreneurial journey. In this module, you will be supported by the experts in the Careers, Enterprise and Industry services and the university careers platform, Handshake.

London Perspectives (Autumn Term)	In the London Perspectives module, you will explore London through multiple perspectives including your own cultural background and degree discipline. Taking the city as a learning ground, you will learn about London with a historical and contemporary focus through your degree subject (for example business, arts, fashion and media) and interact with the cultures of London through their symbols and neighbourhoods to investigate their impact on London over time. Using teasers inspired by the city of London (for example, a 'Brick Lane' extract, a segment of a visual product, a music extract), you will consider what makes London a world city. You will go on field trips and visit relevant venues in mixed-group activities where you act as guides to your cultures and/or subject, thereby fostering collaborative learning. The module uses London to explore what may unite, rather than divide, our areas of study.

At the same time, you will also consider the impact of choices around tone, style, formality and other key language aspects.   This module offers a memorable experience of professional writing, harnessing technology use (such as digital word lists, text analysers) and formative feedback, all within a supportive classroom atmosphere.   As a result, you will be ready to apply what you learn to tasks on this module in your university course or career. You may only take this module once.
Business English/Advanced Business English  – available Autumn or Spring	For every prospective 21st century professional, higher-level business English skills are indispensable.   Whether you study acting or psychology, business or fashion design, this module will develop business English knowledge (grammar and vocabulary) and skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) at upper-intermediate and advanced levels, to enhance your fluency, persuasiveness and effectiveness as a global communicator.   You may only take these module once.

Year 2

Subject Core

Psychology
Psychology in Industry	How will your psychology degree equip you to add value and make a positive contribution in the workplace? What kinds of industries do psychology graduates work in? Psychology graduates bring considerable knowledge and skills, increasingly vital and in demand by employers across a wide range of industries, including business, arts, media, human resources, and technology. In this module you will apply a psychosocial lens to wider industry and organisational contexts in which psychological knowledge and skills are used. You will engage with intersectional fields such as marketing psychology, business psychology and the psychology of fashion; learn about the psychological research skills used in industry; and understand why there is increasing demand for soft psychological skills in the modern workforce. You will creatively engage with relevant contemporary issues such as cognitive bias in recruitment, behavioural economics, equality diversity and inclusion, and organisational and systemic dynamics.
Psychology in Practice	What is a psychologist and what kinds of things do they do? In this module you will engage with potential future training, academic and research pathways in psychology and consider your own professional development planning. You will learn about the everyday work of people trained in the classical disciplines of applied psychology practice – sports and exercise, health, clinical, counselling, occupational, forensic and educational psychologists – as well as about the changing opportunities in the wider psychological, coaching, and mental health workforce. Opportunities for international psychology training and qualified practice will also be presented, including differences across borders in accreditations and registration, as well as careers in academic and research psychology.
Psychology in Postmodernity	What is new in psychology? What are the key areas of theory, research, and practice innovation? What is cutting edge? From its classical roots, psychology has found its way into a diverse range of edges, innovations, and intersections in the increasingly complex, multilayered and postmodern social and technological worlds we occupy. The content of this module will evolve to keep track of new directions and developments in psychology, across specialist fields and in the real world. Through a reflective lens, you will engage with frameworks such as generational demographics in popular culture (Generation X+), postmodern psychology, AI and cyberpsychology, ecopsychology and LGBTQIA+ in psychology to consider the issues, challenges and potential resolutions.
In Year 2, you will also choose one of the following Experiencing Industry & Entrepreneurship modules:
Entrepreneurial Challenge	Regent’s University London has been quoted as the UK university with the highest density of business founders. In this module, you will develop entrepreneurial thinking about how to grow your own or others’ entrepreneurial ideas. You will have the freedom to choose between a range of entrepreneurial challenges and explore enterprise opportunities. In doing so, you will develop your own concepts and create an entrepreneurial plan. In collaboration with others, you will develop your entrepreneurial ideas through creative thinking, research and evaluation. At the end of the module, you will pitch your idea, bringing your concepts closer to an exciting reality. If you have true ambitions to become a founder, the module will also prepare you to complete an individual entrepreneurial project in your final year.
Placement	This placement module gives you the opportunity to experience industry and entrepreneurship in an external organisation. Through an immersive piece of work, either within or outside of your discipline, you will apply your knowledge and intellectual and practical skills to real life challenges to develop a critical appreciation of how an organisation operates and evolves. These insights, skills and knowledge will not only prepare you for your next level of study, but they will also help you to build the attributes required to realise your future ambitions after graduation.
Industry Challenge	In this module, you will experience the challenge and pace of the world of work through a real world or live project, chosen from a menu of industry scenarios. This will give you an insight into the culture, practices and commercial contexts of an industry, field or sector within which the project is situated. The focus of this immersive experience will be on process, as you engage in team building, collaboration and project management, researching and testing concepts and presenting your concepts to address the industry challenge.

Year 3

Subject Core

Psychology
Psychological Literacy in Action	How can psychology help us build a better world? Psychological literacy refers to the ability to use psychology across personal, community, societal and global settings to the positive benefit of self and others and represents a core outcome of an undergraduate education in psychology. In this module you will examine psychological literacy by focusing on a holistic topic that spans theory, practice, research, and real-world contexts, at increasing reflective, critical, and evaluative depth. For example, you might explore the contemporary and growing field of trauma, which is informed by developmental psychology and psychoanalytic theory, and represented by widely varied empirical research. Trauma operates across the lifespan, in individual, local and global contexts such as war, pandemic, and the environmental crisis, and is addressed through psychosocial and humanitarian practice interventions. Diverse discourses of trauma (for example victimhood, survivorship, resilience) impact lived experience, and trauma is widely represented in art and literature.
Psychological Interventions	What are the different approaches to psychological therapy? In what contexts do we find them? What kinds of problems are covered? How are these addressed? In this module, you will reflect on the work clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists and allied disciplines such as psychotherapists and counsellors undertake in order to help others. Working with your peers and networks, you will creatively examine convergences and divergences between theoretical modalities and paradigms, exploring key issues across diverse client groups, presentations, professions and services. You will evaluate contemporary research in psychological therapy, considering debates in evidence-based practice and practice-based research. The module will also encompass wider psychosocial and health interventions, such as behaviour change interventions, and consider how these impact individuals and society. Overall, this module will amplify the rich and varied arena of psychological intervention, through collaborative learning in and outside the classroom.
Major Project II	Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you will realise and complete your work in Major Project ll. The Major Project is your opportunity to apply your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning around industry and/or entrepreneurship to a topic of your choice. Through the Major Project, you can realise your ambitions as you prepare to graduate with work that illustrates your aspirations. You will learn through individual or group supervisions, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to the work you’re completing on your other final year modules. If you are working on an entrepreneurial project for your Major Project, you may be able to join the Founders Programme, which supports students and graduates interested in starting their own business with tailored guidance, coaching, mentoring, and access to experiential bootcamps and live events.
Major Project l	The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You will study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project. The Major Project is a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You will have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to work you’re completing on your other final year modules. In Major Project I, you will start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project.
