BSc (Hons) Psychology with Foundation Year

Psychology with Foundation Year is the perfect way to boost your academic skills, build your confidence and develop your wider subject knowledge so you can succeed at Winchester. This course offers an extra year of study at the start (Year 0) which leads on to a full degree programme (Years 1, 2 and 3). A Foundation Year is ideal for you if you are returning to education after a break; haven’t quite achieved the entry qualifications required; want more support during the transition to studying at university; or are unsure about which subject you wish to pursue. In Level 0 (Foundation Year), you will study three 40-credit modules across the year. Module One (Skills) is designed to develop and enhance your academic skills and your personal attributes. Module Two (Breadth) will introduce you to a range of classic and contemporary psychological approaches and perspectives that can be used to understand the human mind and behaviour. Additionally, you will discuss psychological myths, debates and controversies, along with the extent to which you can rely on ‘evidence’. Module Three (Depth) introduces you to the foundations of quantitative and qualitative research methods using a practical-based learning approach. You will also be introduced to a selection of classic and contemporary research papers. This broader focus in your first year supports your transition to studying at university level and prepares you for success in your undergraduate studies and beyond. On successful compl
