The Education Studies and Psychology BA/BSc (Hons) at the University of Worcester offers a unique opportunity to explore the intricate connections between how we learn and how we develop. This undergraduate degree is ideal for students driven by a curiosity about human behaviour, educational practices, and the societal factors that influence both. You will delve into core psychological principles, such as cognitive neuroscience and social cognition, alongside foundational educational concepts like equality, diversity, and inclusion, preparing you for a dynamic career in fields that require a deep understanding of people.
This full-time, on-campus programme, studied over three years, provides a comprehensive learning experience blending theoretical knowledge with practical application. You will engage with modules covering research skills in psychology, safeguarding in education, and the psychology of teaching and learning, with opportunities to tailor your studies through a wide range of optional modules in your second and third years. Through a significant research project or dissertation in your final year, you will develop independent research capabilities, graduating with the analytical and interpersonal skills essential for roles in education, psychology-adjacent fields, or further postgraduate study.
