About the programme
Psychology is the study of behaviour and mental processes. It aims to understand how people think and what they do – as well as gaining an understanding of their deeper motivations. Psychology has many applications across a broad range of areas, including clinical psychology, forensic psychology, and occupational psychology – which opens up a wide range of career paths for you.
The BA (Hons) Psychology with Education degree helps you understand the psychological aspects of learning and offers an introduction to the core aspects of education. As well as looking at the various ways and situations in which people learn, you'll discover more about the mental processes and behaviours involved in education.
Once you’ve successfully completed the Psychology Studies with Education degree, you'll have a qualification that's highly relevant to a wide range of areas of work – from social work to marketing.

Learning materials
Learning materials This programme is offered on a distance-learning basis allowing you to select your learning environment – be it at home, office or a public library. Learning materials are presented in the format of textbooks with specially written Study Guides containing interactive activities; feedback is provided to enable you to monitor your own progress.
Student / student discussion and student / tutor discussion opportunities are available via our Online Student Community Website. Additional learning resources include access to ATHENS and UK Libraries Plus system.
Assessment and examinations
There are two opportunities each calendar year at which to take exams or submit final assessments. There is an expectation that students require this first year to "learn how to learn". This means that the degree award only draws on marks in level II and III for the final classification.
For Single and Major Pathways a Project module is compulsory at level III. This allows students the opportunity to put into practice what they have learnt on their programme.
Duration
Each module requires 200 study hours (approximately six months) but you can study more than one module at a time.
Award
BA (Hons) Psychology Studies with Education on successful completion of the full programme. You can also study individual modules, or gain an Ordinary BA degree, a Diploma of Higher Education, a Certificate of Higher Education, a University Undergraduate Certificate or a University Undergraduate Associate Certificate depending on the number of modules completed.
