Exploring a new culture overseas, studying psychology, and developing a working knowledge of Spanish language and culture will teach you to understand and help people, and prepare you for a rewarding career in the UK and abroad. Through this programme, you will develop a detailed understanding of psychology, while gaining the skills and knowledge to engage with the discipline in preparation for a placement year overseas in a Spanish speaking country. During the four years, you will be able to draw on expertise from two specialist departments: The School of Global Affairs; and Psychology. This degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society and provides the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership with the Society. You will learn and develop a solid grasp of Spanish language and culture, while studying the main themes of modern psychology: Brain and Behaviour: how neural disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease affect behaviour Cognitive Psychology: our reactions to colours, smells, speech and music Developmental Psychology: the ways in which infants perceive space, patterns, objects and events Social Psychology: how our thoughts, emotions and behaviours are shaped by the presence of others You will learn from passionate academics, all of whom are active researchers and world leaders in their field, which allows you to benefit from their insight, expertise and cutting-edge research. In the first year, you will gain an in depth overview of the main study themes through our Understanding Psychology module. You will explore the theories underpinning these areas, learn to evaluate scientific journals, and develop your ability to construct formal arguments. Running parallel to this, you will also undertake the Investigating Psychology module, which will equip you with important practical skills for conducting research in psychology, such as data analysis and report writing. In addition, you will take language classes, determined by your current level of ability. During the second year of your degree, you will develop upon the key themes introduced in Year 1. You will study specialist modules on topics such as cognitive, developmental and social psychology; deepening your understanding and testing your knowledge. You will also benefit from specialist Spanish modules, which will develop your foreign language oral and written communication skills further. In addition to these themes, Research Methods and Statistics modules will be covered this year. These will expand your knowledge of research methods, develop key skills and enable you to gain a detailed understanding of analysis and reporting. Spending your third year - the International Placement Year - abroad in a Spanish-speaking country makes a major contribution to your command of the language, while deepening your intercultural sensitivity. You can study at a partner university or conduct a work placement, while continuing to enhance your psychology skills and knowledge. Returning to Lancaster for your fourth year, you will further develop your knowledge and understanding of the core aspects of modern psychology, taking modules in Brain and Behaviour; and Personality and Individual Differences. You will also carry out your own research project under the supervision of an experienced researcher.
