It aims to enhance knowledge of the application of psychological theory to the real world and examines the role of evidence-based practice and scientific method in guiding the work of professionals in a range of applied contexts, such as health, legal, organisational and educational settings. This module aims to develop the employability of students through an enhanced awareness of the range of available career pathways open to psychology graduates. The role of regulatory bodies such as British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) are explored in relation to professional development and practice.  Consideration will be given to the research methodology underpinning the evidence based explored within this module.

Students will be introduced to key methodologies within psychology research and explore the philosophical stance underpinning these methodologies. In addition, this module aims to identify academic skills needed to succeed in a psychology degree course and will focus on the development of ethical, legal, reflective and academic practice within psychology. Students will explore their personal development of learning through the application of psychological theories and concepts with an emphasis on developing a coherent skill set based on critical thinking and deeper understanding of empirical psychological science.

It will enable students to explore in greater depth the underlying principles and epistemological bases of both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Students will examine the key similarities and differences between these approaches, whilst appreciating the strengths and limitations of such approaches in addressing psychological research questions. Students will consider a range of data collection techniques (e.g., observations, interviews, simple experiments, and psychometric instruments) to consolidate their knowledge and experience of such methods.   Students will be equipped with a critical understanding of different quantitative research designs that will be considered in regard to important methodological concerns such as validity and reliability, and students will be aware of the implications of different research designs for the selection and use of different descriptive and inferential analytical techniques. Students will appreciate how appropriate descriptive quantitative analysis can be used to effectively characterise and summarize batches of data, whilst also providing them with tools for preliminary data screening and exploration. Students will develop their understanding of hypothesis testing, probability and important related concepts such as statistical significance, type 1 and type 2 errors, statistical power, estimation and confidence intervals, and how these relate to choices of research design and analytical alternatives.  Students will be introduced to the basic principles behind parametric and non-parametric statistical tests of difference, association, and correlation, and will be introduced to simple linear regression; furthermore, students will have the opportunity to conduct such analyses using appropriate statistical software.   General principles of qualitative design (developing research questions, interviewing, focus groups) will be explored. Students will develop their understanding of application of analysis in qualitative research by introduction to data analysis (coding).   Students will be given the opportunity to apply content from this module to their specific programme area through activities such as class discussions, seminar activities and readings, and individual and group work, and implications of the module requirements for student employability will be reflected on. Students will be introduced to the BPS\u2019s current Code of Ethics and Conduct, and have the opportunity to see its application in their empirical work. The distinction between behaving ethically and legally will also be investigated.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/details><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-newman-course-section alignfull course-section\" id=\"course-section-6dadd0ab-ba0d-48ac-80d2-a2d668c9bfcc\" data-name=\"Facilities\" data-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d24693e9e95f021da0a9d6cb2da1a63d\" id=\"assessment\"><strong>Where will you study?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"o\">Our campus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ceed626c2d43d8accf46f2a77b45569a\">Take a tour of our campus and view some of the facilities we have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sllv-embed sllv-youtube sllv-lazy type-normal\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/newman.ac.uk\/courses\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/fallback.webp)\" data-embed=\"KnBaB2LdwRY\" data-playlist=\"\">\n\t<button class=\"sllv-button\" aria-label=\"Play YouTube video\">\n\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" height=\"100%\" width=\"100%\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"YouTube play icon\">\n\t\t\t<path fill=\"#F00\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\"><\/path>\n\t\t\t<path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t<\/button>\n\t<span class=\"sllv-privacy\">\n\t\t<strong>Privacy Notice<\/strong>\n\t\t<p>By clicking play, you agree to load content from YouTube, which may collect data about your visit.

Students who graduate with at least a lower second-class honours degree gain Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), meeting the essential requirement for further BPS-accredited training and chartered psychologist status. While the BSc does not confer professional counselling registration, it provides a strong foundation in counselling skills, ethics and reflective practice, preparing you for postgraduate routes to BACP accreditation or related professional qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-newman-course-section alignfull course-section\"
