BSc Psychology with Educational Psychology

BSc Psychology with Educational Perspectives at Edge Hill University is a three-year undergraduate degree that explores psychology and how it applies to learning and development. The degree begins with core psychology ideas, such as how the brain works, how people learn and remember, how personality and social behaviour develop, and how researchers gather and analyse data. Students also learn how psychology applies to educational settings, including how factors such as attention, motivation, and social influence affect learning in schools and other educational environments. Modules help students build strong research skills and a practical understanding of psychological study methods.

The BSc Psychology with Educational Perspectives in Edge Hill University is accredited by the British Psychological Society, helping students prepare for postgraduate study and future careers in psychology and education settings. Students also examine how psychological ideas explain real challenges in education today, such as how children with different needs learn and behave. Students are taught using a combination of lectures, seminars, workshops, and independent study. Assessments include essays, reports, presentations, research projects, and written exams. In the final year, students complete a detailed project on an educational psychology topic.
