WHAT’S YOUR
AMBITION?BE AN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST
“Throughout my time at secondary school I always wanted to have a career that would allow me to work with and improve the lives of young people; however I was not sure that I wanted to train as a teacher. I began studying Psychology at A level and feel in love with this incredibly diverse discipline.
Southampton is one of the few universities to offer a joint honours Education and Psychology degree that is accredited by the British Psychological Society. Studying Education together with Psychology has given my degree a focus and direction. The course is designed to be very flexible, allowing students to adapt their studies to their passions and interests. For example, I have chosen to study modules on special educational needs and autism along with modules that include a school placement.
After I graduate, I plan to work as a learning support assistant with children who have special educational needs. This experience in an educational setting will allow me to apply to study a doctorate in Educational Psychology, with the hope of becoming a registered Educational Psychologist.”

CHANGE THE WORLD
New ways to beat the bully Schools are using a variety of techniques to combat bullying. Southampton Education School Professor Daniel Muijs is researching how the behaviour of other children affects what happens between the bully and his/her victim. Do they encourage bullying behaviour by laughing at it, discourage by telling bullies to stop or do they just stand by and do nothing?
He is also investigating how teachers can intervene to change the dynamics through group work in the classroom addressing their pupils’ social, emotional and thinking skills. First results are positive with reports of better emotional literacy, empathy and tolerance along with improved conflict management skills

Designed as BSc rather than BA programmes, the courses focus on the rigorous, scientific nature of education. You’ll develop the capacity to assess situations, identify problems and evaluate solutions, skills that are attractive to employers in the education sector and beyond.
Course structure
As part of the normal quality and improvement cycle the degree programmes will be validated again in the Autumn of 2016. What follows represents some of the developments and improvements that are expected (see page 26 for further information regarding validation). In each year of study, you can expect to take seven single and one double module across the two semesters. The double module in the final year focusses on developing and researching your dissertation and it runs across both semesters. You can build your own course by choosing from the optional education modules, or, if you are studying the combined honours programme, from the relevant year’s BSc Psychology degree modules. All students have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge further by studying modules from another subject area.
First year
Compulsory modules in the first year give you a thorough understanding of key education topics. Single honours students can also choose one optional module in semester two. If you are studying the combined honours course all first year modules are compulsory.
Second year
Single honours students are expected to study a compulsory double module dealing with research in preparation for the final-year dissertation. You can select the remainder according to your interests. For combined honours students, you can expect some flexibility and choice.
Final year
In your final year, you’ll undertake a dissertation (or, if you are a joint honours student, you could choose to conduct an extended psychology-based research project). You select your remaining modules as options based on your interests and module availability.
How will you study?
Your studies will include formal class time in lectures, seminars, workshops and practical sessions, as well as independent work comprising directed study, reading, assessment preparation and revision. You will also have one-to-one tutorials and you may meet with other students to study or support one another through peer discussion.
How will you be assessed?
Assessment methods vary throughout the courses. Some modules have coursework that you complete during teaching weeks and some have exams. Others have a mix of assessment methods, such as a presentation during teaching weeks and an exam at the end of the semester.
A dynamic learning environment
We never lose sight of the fact that students are individuals. Our emphasis on small-group teaching and our personal tutor system contribute to a student-focused, supportive and friendly environment. Established in 2011, the courses have benefited from a fresh approach to curriculum design, teaching methods and assessment.
Personalising your degree
As well as taking compulsory modules that give you a strong foundation in key education topics, you can choose from a wide range of optional education or psychology modules.
In addition, we have introduced exciting changes to our single honours programmes to enable you to tailor your degree to your needs. You will be able to choose a minor subject to go alongside your main degree.
Our degree programmes explore some of the fundamental aspects of life – how people learn throughout their lives and the impact of contemporary issues on education, learning and life chances. You’ll gain a thorough grounding in educational policy, theories of teaching and learning and psychology. You’ll also have the opportunity to study various facets of education, such as the use of IT in the classroom, curriculum design, lifelong and workplace learning, international education systems and policy and practice relating to special educational needs.

Course overview
Taught by our education specialists, our undergraduate degrees will inspire students who want to explore opportunities across the wide world of education.

You can then choose from our good range of optional modules to pursue your own interests either from Education, or partner disciplines in Social, Human and Mathematical Sciences or in other areas of the University through our flexible Curriculum Innovation Programme. You could learn a language, spend time in the workplace or even study abroad.

TERMS & CONDITIONSThe University’s Charter, Statutes, Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk
Terms of useThis brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. It is provided for information purposes only. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure.
The information contained in the brochure, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.
1. Change or discontinuance of programmesThe University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill.
We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary:
– to alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable;
– to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements);
– to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University);
– to make changes to our Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students;
– to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable).
If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the “Change”), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity.
a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change.
b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either:
(i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or
(ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified.
If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student.
c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university.
2. Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).
3. Financial or other lossesThe University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility.
Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change, are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
Force majeureThe University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure.
In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.
Admissions Policy and Complaints The University will assess applications in line with its then current Admissions Policy. The Admissions Policy, current at the time of publication, is published online and is available at www.southampton.ac.uk The Admissions Policy is reviewed at least annually.
Applicants may raise complaints related to admissions under the University’s Regulations Governing Complaints from Applicants, which can be found in the Calendar at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk
Further information about, or clarification of, these procedures is available from Admissions Team, Student and Academic Administration, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, email: [email protected].
Data ProtectionDuring the application procedure, the University will be provided with personal information relating to the applicant. An applicant’s personal data will be held and processed by the University in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998.
