BSc Psychology of Education will provide you with a strong grounding in educational psychology - the application of psychological theories and principles to context of education. Psychology of education is a broad field that draws upon multiple perspectives to help explain and understand human functioning and behaviour. The course will allow you to explore core areas of psychology specifically in relation to education, including biological, cognitive, social, and developmental psychology. It will also encourage you to consider the importance of individual differences. You will study both historical and contemporary thinking in these areas and explore how they intersect with educational theories and philosophies. The course is a great option if you wish to: - begin a career pathway towards educational psychology (such as become an educational psychologist, a play therapist or behavioural therapist); - begin a career pathway towards other professional psychology training routes, with an educational focus (like school-based counselling); - progress into teaching and education-based vocations, with a specialism towards pastoral responsibilities and/or special educational needs.
