Project BSc Psychology

• Credit value: 30 credits at Level 6
• Convenor: Professor Jonathan Smith
• Assessment: based entirely on the work embodied in the written project report (100%)

The BSc Psychology Project is an empirical investigation related to any aspect of the main course in psychology and carried out under supervision, including:

• the planning and execution of a laboratory or field study
• data collection and analysis and interpretation of results
• the writing of a report.

You will gain extensive experience in carrying out a larger, and more carefully conducted investigation, than is possible under the conditions of the research methods course. You will complete the project on an independent, individual basis, supported by an approved supervisor.

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

• plan and conduct a moderately substantial investigation
• analyse collected data
• interpret results
• write a clear and complete report.
