Overview
The key advantages of this new Psychology (Distance Learning) (Hons) course at University of East London are that you have the flexibility of choosing when you can study and access to your own personal tutor as well as online forums. It follows the format of our highly successful campus-based degree, which has been developed within our highly respected School of Psychology over a period of more than 50 years.
While other universities may require some attendance, this course is delivered entirely online through our virtual learning environment, UELDirect. There's no requirement for attendance in any of your modules. But this course requires a lot of self-discipline and time management is the key."About a third of our students are in London, and a third live in the UK," says Course Leader Dr Anna Stone. "We have others in countries across the world, including Thailand, Guatemala and all across Africa."
What you'll learn
As a distance learner you'll cover the same material, and the same amount of material, as if you were doing the BSc (Hons) Psychology course on campus.
The psychology degree will give you a broad knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of modern psychology. You will develop a good knowledge of the influences on and factors involved in human functioning in all the core areas of psychology:
- Biological foundations
- Cognitive Psychology
- Social Psychology
- Developmental Psychology
- Individual Differences
- Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology
- Research methods
Your future career
Employers value psychology graduates because they believe they have a better understanding of human behaviour. Your understanding of how people work within organisations will be a real selling point when you apply for any managerial appointment. On average, 80 per cent of University of East London psychology graduates pursue careers outside academia.
Many are now employed in social welfare, sport and leisure, education, human resource management, consumer research and advertising, media, market research and community work.
Your training in data collection and analysis, report writing and IT skills will also be useful in a range of jobs not directly related to psychology.
If you are in the 20 per cent of graduates wanting to continue your studies, a BSc Psychology degree is the first step towards becoming a professional psychologist, whether it is in the field of clinical, educational, occupational, counselling, health or forensic psychology. Your next step will be further study at master's or doctorate level.
