Introduction

This 100% online and part-time BSc (Hons) Psychology will challenge your perspectives as you explore how the mind functions. It is one of the few 100% online psychology programmes accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).  On this online BSc (Hons) Psychology, you will learn about the theoretical and scientific underpinnings of psychology, as well as delve into several specialised areas within the field, such as mental health, investigative psychology, the psychology of sport and exercise, and critical social psychology. Finally, your studies will culminate with a final project on a psychology topic that aligns with your personal interests or professional goals. This programme meets the British Psychological Society’s requirements of the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership Curriculum (GBC). This is an important step towards becoming a Chartered Member of the Society and it is recommended you choose an accredited course if you want to become a qualified psychologist in the UK. Teaching methods  We’re a 100% online education provider, so we use a state-of-the-art virtual learning environment (VLE) to deliver our teaching, resources and assessments. Our system tracks and manages the learning process in real-time and provides you with immediate access to your learning materials. The VLE is accessible 24/7 and allows both students and tutors to actively take part in real-time conversations and live Q&As. We believe you get the most out of your time spent studying when you are kept informed of your performance, and we achieve this by: assessing you throughout modules rather than waiting for the end of year assessments showing your marks in your grade book which can be viewed whenever you log onto the virtual learning environment (VLE) rapid turnaround on work assessed to ensure your grade book is always up to date ensuring you have regular contact with your Student Support team Assessment methods  All assessments are delivered through our virtual learning environment (VLE). There is no requirement to travel to external test centres or to sit exams! Instead, you will submit assignments through the VLE, such as written reports, discussion forum participation or reflective journal entries. We also have a policy of ensuring that the work submitted by students is authentic – we use a well-established electronic monitoring system to check for plagiarism. Why Essex Online? Study online.
