Health and Clinical Psychology (PSYC0015)

The first half of the module aims to introduce the discipline of clinical psychology by outlining its approach to understanding, treating and preventing psychological distress and disorder. This part of the module gives an overview of the major theories of the aetiology of psychological and psychiatric disorders, their clinical assessment, and their treatment.

The second part of this module addresses the psychological, social and behavioural processes involved in health, illness and healthcare. Some lectures focus on the prevention of ill-health while others address applications of psychology to the understanding and treatment of ill-health.

Research Methods in Psychology (PSYC0012)

The module builds on PSYC0005, the First Year laboratory module. The main aim of the module is to enable students to design and carry out a piece of experimental work, to analyse it, and to write a report. Students carry out three research lab projects, usually in each of the following areas: Language Comprehension, Perception and Decision processes. Additionally students do a fourth lab project (with a choice of topics offered).

Final Project (Research Project) (PSBS0015)

This research project module involves an independent piece of research in mental health, suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, carried out under supervision. The project may be derived from any areas from psychiatry or the psychology of mental health and be based on any method, including biological, epidemiological, applied clinical and qualitative investigations. Existing data sets may form the basis of the paper, provided the student uses the data to investigate an original research question, involving substantial analyses. A systematic literature review (and where appropriate a meta-analysis) may also be conducted. The aim of the module is to enable the students to develop skills in defining research questions, identifying suitable research methods and analysing and interpreting research data. Students will also evaluate on a conference-style presentation of their research and a blog post communicating their work to the general public. Students will be allocated two supervisors and progress will be overseen by the Programme Director and individual tutor.
