"modules": "Year 1\n\n \n\n Social and Developmental Psychology (20 credits)\n\nThis module introduces students to basic terminology and theory used in social and developmental psychology. The module contains a variety of topics which will be pursued in more detail at Honours level. Social psychology will examine the impact of social influences on human behaviour. Developmental psychology will evaluate changes in the psychology and behaviour of the individual as their age changes. \n\n \n\n Academic Study Skills (20 credits)\n\nThis module encourages students to develop the academic skills necessary in preparation for undergraduate study. This will include a firm grounding in generic and subject specific writing skills and transferable skills to enhance personal development and employability. \n\n \n\n Introduction to Research Methods (40 credits)\n\nThis module is a basic guided introduction to the research methods and quantitative data analysis used in psychology. Students will be guided through a range of methods and develop their skills and awareness of the usefulness and limitations of these approaches. Students will gain theoretical understanding and practical skills in qualitative and quantitative methods and data analysis. \n\n \n\n Essential Psychology (20 credits)\n\nThis module introduces students to a broad foundation of knowledge in the core areas of cognitive psychology, bio-psychology and basic neurochemistry essential to understanding brain and behaviour. Cognitive psychology will introduce students to fundamental theories that influence brain and behaviour, biological psychology will introduce students to the structure of the nervous system and discuss hormonal processes relative to behaviour and psychological wellbeing \n\n \n\n Exploring Psychology in Groups (20 credits)\n\nPsychological theory is underpinned by research carried out by key historical and contemporary figures. Students will work in groups to explore a famous historical study with contemporary ethical considerations and then present their work.",

"furtherInformation": "Applicants must meet the University Campus Oldham’s minimum academic entry requirements for English language (normally demonstrated by GCSE grade C or equivalent). \n\nThe Preparatory Year offers students the opportunity to develop academic skills and areas of professional knowledge to support the transition to the full BSc (Hons) Psychology. \n\nApplicants under the age of 21:\n\nYounger applicants who have experienced issues of a personal, social or domestic nature, resulting in a disruption to their academic studies at a previous institute are particularly welcome, if you feel that you would benefit from the supportive environment on offer at a smaller University Campus. \n\nApplicants over the age of 21:\n\nStudying for a degree later in life can be highly rewarding and lead to a successful career change. Mature applicants who do not hold any formal qualifications will be invited to an assessments interview and given an opportunity to demonstrate that they meet our minimum academic entry requirements and have the desire to complete the programme. In previous years, mature applicants at UCO have been some of our most successful students. We particularly welcome applications from mature students with non-standard qualifications. Applicants will be interviewed prior to acceptance onto the course. \n\nIf English is not your first language you will need an IELTS score of 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in all skills, or a recognised equivalent.",
