Access to Psychology
Access to Psychology is a program designed to provide students with the skills, knowledge, and qualifications required to progress to a degree in psychology or related fields. The program is specifically aimed at individuals who do not have the traditional qualifications required for university entry, such as A-levels or equivalent.
The Access to Psychology course covers a range of subjects, including social, cognitive, developmental, and abnormal psychology, as well as research methods and statistical analysis. It also includes modules on communication skills, critical thinking, and ethical considerations in psychology.
Upon completion of the Access to Psychology program, students can apply for a degree in psychology or related fields at a university. Psychology is a field that studies human behaviour, cognition, and emotions, and the underlying neural and biological processes. Graduates of this degree program can go on to work in a variety of settings, including clinical psychology, counselling, research, education, and human resources. They may also work in industries that require knowledge of human behaviour, such as marketing, advertising, and public relations.
