About this degree
Students on the MPhil/PhD programme carry out research in the areas of developmental psychology (particularly in relation to education), mental health, special educational needs (SEN) and educational neuroscience. Potential candidates are advised to explore UCL IRIS and the Psychology and Human Development department website to identify appropriate supervisors before submitting an application.
We offer the largest group of psychologists in the UK dedicated to research in education, child and adolescent development. Neuroscience is at the cutting edge of psychology and we work in partnership with colleagues in UCL Psychology & Language Sciences and Birkbeck to extend our reach in this area.
Who this course is for
The MPhil/PhD is for applicants with a strong interest in an aspect of educational and social research, which may be understood broadly across the life course, in relation to other subject areas and wider social, economic, political and cultural changes. You should normally have completed an MA to merit level and want to develop a specific area of research. You may have a background in education or a cognate area of study. It is suitable for both recent graduates and those progressed in a career.
What this course will give you
IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society is a world-leading centre for research in education and related social science. We host the UK's largest doctoral cohort in these areas. In the QS World University Rankings by Subject (2023), the Institute was ranked first for education for the tenth year running, ahead of Harvard, Stanford, Oxford and Cambridge. In the UK's recent Research Excellence Framework (2021), we were ranked first for research strength and research power in Education, according to the Elsevier REF 2021 Results Analysis Tool. We attract extensive research funding each year and host many prestigious research centres and projects.
Doctoral students at IOE have access to the wider UCL community as well as the education cluster constituting the ESRC UBEL Doctoral Training Partnership . The Institute's programme has been designed to provide comprehensive and broadly based research training and to meet the requirements of the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the UK Researcher Development Framework.
Students will work closely with one or more specialist supervisors and in some cases be part of a group (Lab or Centre) which will support them to develop each stage of their research; have access to specialist research seminars across all IOE and UCL departments; and join a vibrant and active community of doctoral students.
The foundation of your career
Students will develop general and specialist skills in research methodology, academic writing and presentation, as well as gaining experience of engaging with a wide range of practitioners across different sectors of education.
The best thing about my course is the chance to conduct my studies under the supervision of a leading expert in my field of interest, as part of a large research team, on such an interesting and important project. I feel incredibly grateful for and excited about this opportunity. Keeley Dobinson Psychology and Human Development MPhil/PhD Q&A with Keeley Dobinson
Employability
Psychology doctoral graduates progress to a range of career paths in: academia (both as university teachers and researchers); local and national government contexts supporting work related to education and psychology in the fields of policy and planning; school leadership; public sector research.
The Department of Psychology and Human Development offers a regular seminar series on a wide range of topics and each of the centres have separate specialist seminars. Doctoral students participate in active student seminar groups and we also hold specific support working seminars for doctoral students to enhance presentation skills before upgrades and vivas. We encourage our students to present at the two annual conferences for IOE doctoral students as well as other specialist conferences outside the UCL and IOE.
Teaching and learning
In addition to UCL's Doctoral Skills Development Programme, IOE's Centre for Doctoral Education provides a comprehensive Research Training Programme.
The Core Course aims to meets the needs of early stage doctoral students.
There is also a wide range of introductory, advanced methods, advanced theoretical, and generic academic skills courses, as well as student-led workshops and reading groups.
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) consists of a piece of supervised research, normally undertaken over a period of three years full-time or five years part-time. Assessment is by means of a thesis, which should demonstrate your capacity to pursue original research based upon a good understanding of the research techniques and concepts appropriate to the discipline. It must also represent a distinct and significant contribution to the subject, whether through the discovery of new knowledge, the connection of previously unrelated facts, the development of new theory, or the revision of older views. It should reflect the exercise of critical judgement with regard to both your own work and that of other scholars in the field.
For those who decide not to pursue the full PhD, or are unable to do so, the degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) consists of a piece of supervised research, normally undertaken over a period of three years full-time or five years part-time. Assessment is by means of a thesis, which should represent a contribution to the subject, either through a record of your original work or a critical and ordered exposition of existing knowledge.
You must ensure you have adequate time to devote to this research, at least six hours a day (2-3 days a week part time).

Research environment
As a research student at the Department of Psychology and Human Development, you can participate in the department's seminar programme which further enriches learning. There are also seminars organised by research centres or according to interest groups.
Since October 2014, we have also – in addition to the campus-based mode - offered the option to study online in a distance-learning mode. Choosing the distance-learning mode means that there are no residency requirements and it is not necessary to attend during doctoral study, the viva examination take place in-person at UCL or online. However, you are welcome to visit and use campus facilities including the library, attend seminars etc. In the first year of full-time study (and first two years of part-time study), distance learners take a series of compulsory research methods modules that are studied online. This typically involves provision of materials (articles, eBooks, videos etc.), forums to facilitate discussion of various tasks, and synchronous sessions to discuss the activities. Alongside these you will work with your supervisors on your research (e.g., using Teams/Zoom and email). In addition, there are other resources and training opportunities to support distance-learning students, e.g., sessions to develop generic skills.
The length of registration for the research degree programmes is 3 years for full-time.
You are required to register initially for the MPhil degree with the expectation of transfer to PhD after successful completion of an upgrade viva 9-18 months after initial registration.
IOE Centre for Doctoral Education provides an extensive Research Training Programme. A mandatory core course is provided that aims to meet the needs of early-stage doctoral students. There is also a wide range of introductory, advanced methods, advanced theoretical, and generic non-credit bearing academic skills courses, as well as student led workshops and reading groups which you can attend.
Full-time MPhil/PhD students are required to fulfil minimum 20 ‘points’ of training activity in their first year, and are encouraged to fulfil the same in their subsequent years of study. This training can be selected from the UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme, IOE faculty’s Research Training Programme, the multi-institutional Bloomsbury Postgraduate Skills Network, and from other sources. Each point is worth approximately a half-day of face-to-face training, or an online equivalent. Other activities such as attending and presenting at conferences also count towards research training. Students may undertake additional training beyond these minima, as relevant to their research and/or as agreed with their supervisors.
You are expected to upgrade from MPhil to PhD status towards the end of your first year of study if full-time. Students whose performance is satisfactory will transfer from MPhil to PhD status.
Processes aimed at assisting you during your course of study include the Research Student Log (an online project management tool), and periodic reviews of students’ progress.
Upon successful completion of your approved period of registration you may, if necessary, register as a completing research status (CRS) student while you finish writing your thesis.
The length of registration for the research degree programmes is 5 years for part-time.
Part-time students are required to fulfil minimum 12 ‘points’ of training activity in each year of study. This training can be selected from the UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme, IOE faculty’s Research Training Programme, the multi-institutional Bloomsbury Postgraduate Skills Network, and from other sources. Each point is worth approximately a half-day of face-to-face training, or an online equivalent. Other activities such as attending and presenting at conferences also count towards research training. Students may undertake additional training beyond these minima, as relevant to their research and/or as agreed with their supervisors.
You are expected to upgrade from MPhil to PhD status at around 18 months if part-time. Students whose performance is satisfactory will transfer from MPhil to PhD status.

The OU has changed my life as being able to study part-time from home has meant that I can continue to run my holiday let business without my studies impacting my income. I was worried about feeling a bit ‘out there on my own’ whilst studying remotely, but I have found many ways to get involved, and I now feel like a part of the Social Psychology community at the OU.
I chose to study with the OU because I gained all my life-changing qualifications at both undergraduate and postgraduate level with the university and have also worked as an Associate Lecturer for 17 years teaching psychology. Studying for a PhD has been a lifelong ambition and I was so happy to find a way to bring together two passions – politics and psychology – into the relatively new area of political psychology.

Psychology is no longer accepting new applications.
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the Department's principal research degree for postgraduate students and the majority of our students are registered for this degree. The PhD is intellectually demanding and applicants will need to have a high level of attainment and motivation to pursue this programme of advanced study and research.
Completion normally requires three to four years of full-time study, including a probationary period. Students will normally be required to be resident in Cambridge during that time.
The examination involves the submission of a 60,000-word thesis and subsequent oral examination.
The PhD represents a significant and original contribution to the understanding of Psychology. This may be through the discovery of something new, the connection of previously unrelated facts, or the development of a new theory, taking into account all previously published work on the subject.
The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the Postgraduate Open Day page for more details.
See further the Postgraduate Admissions Events pages for other events relating to Postgraduate study, including study fairs, visits and international events.

- a brief chapter (no more than 3000 words) that will provide a methodological and ethical critique of possible and relevant research designs and methods to be employed in an empirical study.
- an empirical research study of 7,000 words presented in the required format for submission to a nominated Journal.
- a reflective synthesis (2000 words) of professional and academic learning acquired in achieving the above. This will show what the work means for the trainee as a practitioner and researcher. It will demonstrate what the implications are for education and educationalists. It will also provide a summary of the most appropriate next steps for the trainee as a fully qualified researcher-practitioner.
How you'll learn
Our aims are to:
- promote the fullest possible inclusive education and social inclusion
- mitigate the effects of impairment, social and economic deprivation and disadvantage

- video feedback (including initial training in Video Interaction Guidance)
You'll undertake placements in educational and community settings. You'll use enquiry-based learning throughout. You'll work collaboratively and take responsibility for individual and group learning.
There will be time off across the year during Year 1. This is usually one week in Dec/Jan and March/Apr as well as four weeks in the summer. You’re expected to attend university sessions and placement throughout the half-term holidays. You’re also given a week of study leave in Dec/Jan and March/Apr and two weeks in the summer.
Depending on your modules, you'll be assessed through a combination of:
- an assessment of practice placements – four formal assessments across the three years

Your development
You'll learn to support the development of young people aged 0-25 years. You will also learn how to work with other professionals, such as teachers.
Each year, you'll undertake supervised and assessed placements in educational psychology services. You will work with schools and settings of other children’s service agencies and professionals. You will work with children and young people and their families.
The following patterns are typical but are subject to change. There will be some exceptions to these patterns. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are only placement days for parts of the year.
- Monday – study day (at home or at university)
- Tuesday – university day/placement day
- Wednesday – university day/placement day
- Thursday – university day
- Friday – university day
*University days will be either in-person or will involve online or directed activities during year one.
Years two and three:
- Monday – placement day
- Tuesday – placement day
- Wednesday – placement day
- Thursday – university day/research day
- Friday – university day/research day
The programme workload will mean working additional hours on top of study days. The DAppEdPsy is a full-time professional training programme. This reflects in the working hours at both the university and the placement.
Placements A and B in year one will be at the six Local Authorities in the North East region. This is the base for our six Field Work Tutors. You may also have placements at other services in the North East region. This will be agreed between service managers.
The placements available for years two and three are different every year. Placements are offered by Local Authorities. You can make requests to those available in the region or further afield. These are decided through a matching process that takes place regionally.

Qualification
University of Warwick
Find out more about our Psychology MPhil/PhD.
The Department of Psychology offers high quality doctoral training and supervision experience in the fields of Behavioural Science, Language and Learning, and Lifespan Health and Wellbeing. Under the guidance of enthusiastic and motivated academic staff, our MPhil/PhD students undertake exciting research in their chosen fields of study and complete a tailored programme of training courses and professional development opportunities.
Course overview
Our MPhil/PhD degree in Psychology is awarded for a thesis reporting original research by a student under the supervision of, typically, two members of staff. Very occasionally, the department is also able to take on a student undertaking a PhD by Published Work.
PhD students are initially registered for an MPhil (PhD Track) with the expectation that their registration will be upgraded to the full PhD contingent upon satisfactory progress. Such upgrades normally take place at the first annual review 9-12 months into your studies (18–24 months for part-time students).
Our MPhil/PhD programme can enable postgraduate training for a career as an academic researcher, but also serves as excellent preparation for a career as a professional psychologist (e.g., clinical, organisational, or school psychologist), or as a consultant or professional in different fields of industry.
In addition to subject-related knowledge, our MPhil/PhD degree provides valuable transferable skills in data analysis and management, written and oral communication, teamwork and time management.
Teaching and learning
All our MPhil/PhD students are strongly encouraged to engage with the Departmental and University-wide advanced training offered. Such training opportunities will be discussed with supervisors and will form part of the annual review process.
Our MPhil/PhD students are also offered an opportunity to gain teaching and marking experience during the course of their doctoral studies.

Supervision for PhD Psychology within our Department of Psychology is available in diverse fields of psychology including (but not limited to) cognitive psychology, social and cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, and developmental psychology. You study in a stimulating and vibrant research environment, and we provide excellent research facilities. In general, our PhD students enjoy the same access to neuroscience and other research equipment as our academic staff, and access to our research participant pool, which is essential for your experimental research. You also benefit from the supportive supervision given by our staff, and the friendly and collegiate atmosphere provided by fellow students. This ensures that we have an exemplary record in supporting our PhD students to produce high quality theses within three years.
Please note, part-time research study is also available.
We also offer an Integrated PhD in this subject, which enables you to spend your first year completing a Masters-level qualification followed by a full-time PhD studied over 3-4 years.
- We offer a range of PhD studentships and funding opportunities.
- We provide excellent state-of-the-art facilities for study, with extensive laboratory space for experimental psychology and special facilities for visual and auditory perception, developmental psychology and social psychology, with our Hearing Research Laboratory and our Visual Perception Unit.

Our expert staff
Our psychology lecturers include award-winning teachers and prize-winning researchers who are international experts in their own research areas.
Our staff carry out research into areas of psychology that fall under our three key themes: thinking about the world , interacting with the world , and experiencing the world . These three themes help tie your knowledge together as they directly feed into our modules, where you can study how we remember things, what captures out attention, how relationships work, what our emotions do with us, or the impact of culture on ourselves and others.
Within our Department of Psychology, you will be allocated a supervisor whose role it is to guide you through the different stages of your research degree. In some cases, you may have joint supervision by two members of our staff.
The support provided by your supervisor is a key feature of your research student experience and you will have regular one-to-one meetings to discuss progress on your research. Initially, your supervisor will help you develop your research topic and plan.
Twice a year, you will have a supervisory panel meeting, which provides a more formal opportunity to discuss your progress and agree your plans for the next six months.
Specialist facilities
Within our Department of Psychology, we provide excellent state-of-the-art facilities for your study, with extensive laboratory space for experimental psychology and special facilities for visual and auditory perception, developmental psychology and social psychology.
We also have our Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, a state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to the study of brain activity in relation to psychological processes. This provides a dynamic resource with specialised laboratories for investigating behaviour and brain activity including: two eye tracking labs for recording eye movements, four electroencephalography (EEG) labs for recording cortical oscillatory activity, event-related potentials (ERP) and functional connectivity; two near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) labs for measuring changes in blood oxygenation levels; four neuromodulation labs including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), repetitive TMS (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and neuro-navigation facilities.

English language requirements
Course structure.
A research degree doesn't have a taught structure, giving you the chance to investigate your chosen topic in real depth and reach a profound understanding. In communicating that understanding, through a thesis or other means, you have a rare opportunity to generate knowledge. A research degree allows you to develop new high-level skills, enhance your professional development and build new networks. It can open doors to many careers.
We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision for you. We'll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities as described on our website and in line with your contract with us. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to significant disruption, we'll let our applicants and students know as soon as possible.
Components are the blocks of study that make up your course. A component may have a set module which you must study, or a number of modules from which you can choose.
Each component has a status and carries a certain number of credits towards your qualification.
The modules that are available for you to choose for each component will depend on several factors, including which modules you have chosen for other components, which modules you have completed in previous years of your course, and which term the module is taught in.
Modules are the individual units of study for your course. Each module has its own set of learning outcomes and assessment criteria and also carries a certain number of credits.
In most cases you will study one module per component, but in some cases you may need to study more than one module. For example, a 30-credit component may comprise of either one 30-credit module, or two 15-credit modules, depending on the options available.
Modules may be taught at different times of the year and by a different department or school to the one your course is primarily based in. You can find this information from the module code . For example, the module code HR100-4-FY means:
COMPONENT 01: COMPULSORY
This module is for PhD students who are completing the research portions of their theses.
View Psychology - Research on our Module Directory
The award of a PhD signifies an original and substantial contribution to knowledge that means you can be considered an expert in your field. The majority of your learning comes from ‘hands on' experience of designing, conducting and analysing your original research, as well as from the demanding process of writing and submitting a PhD. To help in this process, you attend several taught courses in your first year and all our research students are required to undertake postgraduate research training modules as part of their studies.
At the end of your first and second years you will prepare a 10,000 word document that contains a review of relevant literature and summarises findings from your empirical work conducted in that year. You will also take part in a Post Graduate Research conference in which you make an oral presentation of this work to the Department. The submission of the 10,000 word document in particular helps you prepare for the writing of your thesis.
Dissertation
Students within our Department of Psychology submit a dissertation of up to 80,000 words. We take pride in our completion record with our PhD students. We achieve this, in part, by ensuring from the outset that you follow a clear path to ensure completion within three years – with specific appropriate milestones at the end of your first and second years.
Home/UK fee
£4,786 per year
International fee
£21,500 per year
Fees will increase for each academic year of study.

Course Overview
An MPhil/PhD is an advanced postgraduate research degree that requires original research and the submission of a substantial dissertation of 60,000 to 100,000 words. At Birkbeck, you are initially registered on an MPhil and you upgrade to a PhD after satisfactory progress in the first year or two. You need to find a suitable academic supervisor at Birkbeck, who can offer the requisite expertise to guide and support you through your research. Find out more about undertaking a research degree at Birkbeck .
The MPhil/PhD in Organizational Psychology aims to train you to conduct research of a high academic standard and to make an original contribution to the subject through your thesis. It will not only prepare you to undertake research for your own dissertation, but will also equip you to be able to evaluate research results and reports more widely.
Our research interests include: selection and assessment; training; organisational communication; organisation studies and organisational sociology; well-being and emotion; technology development and organisational change; human resource management; employment and psychological contracts; pay; careers and innovation. We also have expertise in, and are committed to, both qualitative and quantitative research techniques.
Please note, the PhD in Organizational Psychology is a research degree. If you are a practitioner, our Professional Doctorate in Occupational Psychology and associated British Psychological Society and Health and Care Professions Council accreditations might be more suitable.
Before submitting an application, please ensure that you read the submission guidelines carefully, and note that research proposals should be no longer than 1500 words (excluding references).

About the course
Investigative psychology is the systematic science that developed out of early ‘offender profiling’ contributions by psychologists and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to police investigations and court cases. In recent years this sub-discipline has become an increasingly dominant area of forensic psychology. This course offers you the opportunity to explore the specialised field of practice, from the application of psychological principles to the diverse aspects of the analysis, investigation and legal processing of crime.
- This exciting course offers intensive training on advanced statistical methods, which may open doors into many jobs beyond crime and investigations.
- Accredited by the British Psychological Society and recognised as the first step towards status as a Chartered Forensic Psychologist in the UK for students who have Graduate Basis for Chartership.
- Engage with the Research Centres and Institutes across the University.
- Hear from visiting speakers including experts from around the world who will reflect on real life cases.
- Learn about the full range of contributions that professional psychologists can make including the legal and investigative process; evaluating the validity of suspect or witness accounts; assessing the decision-making processes of detectives or jurors; to developing profiling inferences about the likely characteristics of an offender and predicting their likely home location. Intensive examinations of the variations in criminal behavioural style are a central feature of this course.
The course aims to provide in-depth expertise in all aspects of Investigative Psychology. It has a strong research emphasis, helping to equip you with the expertise to conduct your own crime research projects in diverse professional contexts.
You can also choose to study this Distance Learning course on a part-time basis and complete within 24 months.

Course detail
Core modules, clinical forensic psychology.
This module will introduce you to the major issues within clinical forensic psychology. You will explore the psychology of criminal behaviour and the relationship between mental disorder and crime. You will also study psychopathology, mental disorders, the different interventions, treatments and rehabilitation of offenders, as well as the risk factors and risk assessment measures used to assess the risk of (re)-offending and approaches to helping victims.
Dissertation (Investigative Psychology)
You will undertake a research project, which you will design, implement and analyse. This will be in the form of a literature review of a focused topic using a systematic approach or an empirical study that draws on and makes a contribution to investigative psychology. The project must demonstrate appropriate design, methods and techniques along with interpretation and evaluation of the findings reported to a high professional standard.
Improving Legal Testimony and Evidence in Court and investigations
In this module you will explore potential sources of error within the evidence at each stage of an investigation, from initial witness statements and comments from suspects, to how the evidence is presented in court. You will examine the challenges of investigative information and investigative decision making, explore the procedures that have been developed to improve the effectiveness of investigative interviews and consider factors that lead to false confessions and reasons for false allegations. You will also study how to improve eyewitness testimonies and the psycholinguistics of questioned documents.
Introducing Investigative Psychology: from Offender Profiling to the Science of IP
Investigative psychology is concerned with the psychological input to a range of issues related to the management, investigation and prosecution of crime. You will be introduced to the scope of investigative psychology and the principles on which it is based. The module explores the contributions that psychologists can make to police investigations, the emergence of investigative psychology from offender profiling, processes of detection, the significance of inference and the main questions investigative psychologists ask.
Investigative Psychology for Violent Acquisitive and Sexual Crime
You will explore the complexities in the process of drawing offender inferences from offence behaviour and why deriving such inferences empirically is not as straightforward as it is expected. You will study ‘criminal narratives’, considering the life stories of offenders and the roles they perceive themselves as playing throughout their lives. Theories and models for a range of different crime types including robbery, burglary, fraud, murder, stalking, domestic violence, sexual offences, organised crime and terrorism will be critically examined.
Investigative Psychology: Tactics and Strategies for Studying Criminal Action
Through this module you will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of the variety of research methods used in investigative psychology. You will conduct and interpret advanced statistical analyses, as well as communicate research findings in a format suitable to the research community. You will also explore data sources, research design, analysis of qualitative data, multivariate statistics, inferential statistics and multidimensional scaling.
Offender Spatial Activity: Beyond Geographical Offender Profiling
This module will examine how offence locations relate to the lives of offenders. You will explore the significance of closeness of the crime locations to key places in the offender’s life and the geometry of the distribution of the offences. You will also study propinquity (the distance offenders travel), morphology (whether investigators can predict the offenders home area), variations in criminality and offender geography and geographical profiling systems.
Professional Issues and Applications
This module explores the importance of professional and ethical issues in the application of investigative psychology. You will study topics including professional applications relating to forensic medical sciences (pathology and toxicology), forensic physical sciences, legal processes and expert evidence, as well as behavioural investigative advice and crime analysis.
Teaching and Assessment
Teaching is delivered in three one-week blocks online in September, January and March, in the format of synchronous lectures. A wide range of teaching and learning approaches are provided including lectures, tutorials, specialist guest speakers, time for self-study and online supervision throughout. Assessment aims to support learning and to measure achievement. This is through varied projects and coursework such as court reports, geographical profiling reports, research reports, journal articles and oral presentations. Assessment is a combination of coursework, competency based learning and examination. The nature of the assessment varies from module to module, and mirrors the modes of communication expected of graduates in this field, for example grant proposal, professional case report, as well as preparing professional presentations.
Your module specification/course handbook will provide full details of the assessment criteria applying to your course.
Feedback (usually written) is normally provided on all coursework submissions within three term time weeks – unless the submission was made towards the end of the session in which case feedback would be available on request after the formal publication of results. Feedback on exam performance/final coursework is available on request after the publication of results.

Important information
We will always try to deliver your course as described on this web page. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below.
Changes to a course you have applied for
If we propose to make a major change to a course that you are holding an offer for, then we will tell you as soon as possible so that you can decide whether to withdraw your application prior to enrolment.
Cancellation of a course you have applied for
Although we always try and run all of the course we offer, we may occasionally have to withdraw a course you have applied for or combine your programme with another programme if we consider this reasonably necessary to ensure a good student experience, for example if there are not enough applicants to ensure you have a good learning experience. Where this is the case we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible and we will contact you to discuss other suitable courses with us we can transfer your application to. If we notify you that the course you have applied to has been withdrawn or combined, and you do not wish to transfer to another course with us, you may cancel your application and we will refund you any deposits or fees you have paid to us.
Changes to your course after you enrol as a student
We will always try to deliver your course and other services as described. However, sometimes we may have to make changes as set out below:
Changes to option modules
Where your course allows you to choose modules from a range of options, we will review these each year and change them to reflect the expertise of our staff, current trends in research and as a result of student feedback or demand for certain modules. We will always ensure that you have a range of options to choose from and we will let you know in good time the options available for you to choose for the following year.
Major changes
We will only make major changes to the core curriculum of a course or to our services if it is necessary for us to do so and provided such changes are reasonable. A major change in this context is a change that materially changes the services available to you; or the outcomes, or a significant part, of your course, such as the nature of the award or a substantial change to module content, teaching days (part time provision), classes, type of delivery or assessment of the core curriculum.
For example, it may be necessary to make a major change to reflect changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators; to meet the latest requirements of a commissioning or accrediting body; to improve the quality of educational provision; in response to student, examiners’ or other course evaluators’ feedback; and/or to reflect academic or professional changes within subject areas. Major changes may also be necessary because of circumstances outside our reasonable control, such as a key member of staff leaving the University or being unable to teach, where they have a particular specialism that can’t be adequately covered by other members of staff; or due to damage or interruption to buildings, facilities or equipment.
Major changes would usually be made with effect from the next academic year, but this may not always be the case. We will notify you as soon as possible should we need to make a major change and will carry out suitable consultation with affected students. If you reasonably believe that the proposed change will cause you detriment or hardship we will, if appropriate, work with you to try to reduce the adverse effect on you or find an appropriate solution. Where an appropriate solution cannot be found and you contact us in writing before the change takes effect you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the University without liability to the University for future tuition fees. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
Termination of course
In exceptional circumstances, we may, for reasons outside of our control, be forced to discontinue or suspend your course. Where this is the case, a formal exit strategy will be followed and we will notify you as soon as possible about what your options are, which may include transferring to a suitable replacement course for which you are qualified, being provided with individual teaching to complete the award for which you were registered, or claiming an interim award and exiting the University. If you do not wish to take up any of the options that are made available to you, then you can cancel your registration and withdraw from the course without liability to the University for future tuition fees and you will be entitled to a refund of all course fees paid to date. We will provide reasonable support to assist you with transferring to another university if you wish to do so.
When you enrol as a student of the University, your study and time with us will be governed by a framework of regulations, policies and procedures, which form the basis of your agreement with us. These include regulations regarding the assessment of your course, academic integrity, your conduct (including attendance) and disciplinary procedure, fees and finance and compliance with visa requirements (where relevant). It is important that you familiarise yourself with these as you will be asked to agree to abide by them when you join us as a student. You will find a guide to the key terms here , along with the Student Protection Plan , where you will also find links to the full text of each of the regulations, policies and procedures referred to. You should read these carefully before you enrol. Please note that this information is subject to change and you are advised to check our website regularly for any changes before you enrol at the University. A person who is not party to this agreement shall not have any rights under or in connection with it. Only you and the University shall have any right to enforce or rely on the agreement.

What to Look For in an Online Bachelor's Degree Program in Psychology
When picking the best online psychology bachelor's degree program for your goals, consider the school's academic reputation, curriculum, program format, tuition, and financial aid options.
Accreditation
Accreditation is the most important quality measure for any college degree or program. The best online psychology schools are accredited, meaning they undergo regular, rigorous reviews to ensure they meet academic standards.
Employers and graduate programs prefer or even require applicants who have graduated from accredited schools. State psychology licensing boards only accept applications from those who attended accredited colleges or universities.
The Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs (DAPIP), part of the U.S. Department of Education, lets you look up any program's accreditation status.
Admission Requirements
Admission requirements for bachelor's degrees vary by program. You will likely need a high school diploma or GED certificate, at least two references, and a transcript.
GPA requirements vary, but many of the best online psychology bachelor's degree programs prefer students with a 3.5 GPA or higher.
Cost and Financial Aid
Cost and financial aid are important. Attending an online program rather than a residential one is often more affordable. However, competition for work-study programs may be higher, since there are fewer remote work-study positions for students.
Hybrid and Online Options
Some programs are fully online, while others are hybrid, meaning a mix of on-campus and online programs. Labs and courses with fieldwork are more likely to be hybrid.
While it is not a strict admissions requirement, before enrolling in an online or hybrid degree program , make sure you have reliable high-speed internet access.
How to Apply to an Online Bachelor's Degree Program in Psychology
Applying to college is a big task, so give yourself plenty of time during the process. Have someone you trust review your application, such as a teacher or guidance counselor. Consider applying for early decision if you have one particular program you would attend if accepted.
Some schools participate in the Common App, which lets you apply to multiple colleges with the same application. All schools will require a high school diploma or GED certificate, transcript, references, and an essay. Many schools require an interview, which you may be able to complete virtually.
While most colleges charge application fees, some may grant a fee waiver if the fee would be a hardship.
What Can I Do With a Bachelor's in Psychology?
While becoming a clinical psychologist requires a graduate degree, many career options exist for bachelor's in psychology degree holders. For example, a psychology bachelor's can qualify you to pursue relevant certification and become a certified alcohol or drug counselor in some states.
A bachelor's in psychology can also opens doors to positions in related fields , including social work, healthcare, human resources, community services, and criminal justice.
Explore related careers for psychology graduates and median salaries. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects positive job growth for all of these positions from 2022-2032.
Earning a bachelor's sets you up to pursue a master's in psychology or a psychology doctoral degree . These advanced degrees can help you pursue state licensure as a psychologist, career advancement, and higher salaries. Master's in psychology holders can pursue specializations in clinical, forensic, school, and sports psychology.
Psychology doctorate graduates can find positions in research, teaching at the collegiate level, and consulting for businesses or organizations.
