We require a UK Honours degree with a First or Upper Second (2.1) classification or the overseas equivalent.
When assessing your academic record we take into account the grades you have achieved and the standing of the institution where you studied your qualification.
Through my master’s, I was able to focus on the 'how' of learning and the beauty of neuro-diversity.
This has really helped me in my day-to-day teaching as I am able to deploy various methods of teaching to meet the varied needs present within my classroom.
Develop a deeper understanding of how psychology can support learning, development and educational practice.
The MEd Psychology of Education explores the relationship between psychology and education, helping you understand how psychological theory, research and evidence can be applied to educational settings.
The course combines academic study with a focus on real-world application, encouraging you to think critically, evaluate research, theory and practice in relation to educational contexts. Through this process, you will develop analytical, research and critical-thinking skills that are highly valued across education and psychology-related professions.
You will explore how psychological perspectives can help address challenges relating to learning, development, inclusion, wellbeing and educational outcomes. This will enable you to understand the complex factors that influence educational experiences and consider how evidence-informed approaches can support positive change.
As a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited psychology conversion course, the programme provides an opportunity for graduates from a wide range of academic backgrounds to develop a strong grounding in psychology.
