All Research

• PSA101 Professional Development and Applications of Statistics and Research Methods (Joint Honours)

  In this module, students will conduct a research study, which they will report in the form of a scientific paper. In addition, through weekly sessions with their Personal Academic Mentor, students will begin to consider their professional development. In these sessions, students will complete activities that will allow them to pursue the Career Development Course (CDC) provided by the Swansea Employability Academy.

• PSA114 Individual and Abnormal Psychology

  This module examines (i) individual differences in intelligence and personality and (ii) abnormal psychology, or psychopathology. Theoretical accounts of the structure of personality (trait vs factor approaches) will be examined along with the development of personality (learning vs psychoanalytic approaches) and personality assessment. Historical approaches to the measurement of intelligence and genetic and environmental determinants of intelligence will be covered, taking a critical perspective. Then focusing on abnormal psychology the module will examine how we define `abnormal¿ behaviour, along with the explanations of such behaviour including learning theory, biology and genetics, and psychoanalytic explanations. The symptoms of some of the principle disorders of behaviour will be delineated including schizophrenia, mood disorders and personality disorders.

• PSY101 Professional Development and Applications of Statistics and Research Methods

  In this module, students will conduct two research studies, which they will report in the form of two scientific papers. In addition, through weekly sessions with their Personal Academic Mentor, students will begin to consider their professional development. In these sessions, students will complete activities that will allow them to pursue the Career Development Course (CDC) provided by the Swansea Employability Academy.

• PSY319 Final Year Independent Research Project

  Students conduct an independent research project under the supervision of a member of staff. The research topic is decided in conjunction with supervisors and Research topics. Students must design, conduct, analyse and write up a piece of research in order to achieve Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society (BPS). They must also complete an Ethical Considerations Form, showing that they have considered and resolved ethical issues relating to their project, and that they have implemented appropriate best practices for improving the reproducibility of their research.
