The introductory modules for English Language look at issues such as how our language changes according to the context in which it is being used, how men's and women's language use differs, how we acquire language and how and why it continues to evolve. The programme aims to develop students’ competence and critical understanding of the range of phenomena dealt with in the field of English language (the structure of English, the sound pattern of English, history of English, dialects and variation, English in society, and the emergence of English as the world’s global language); their proficiency is also developed in other key skills which they require for employment or further study, and for lifelong learning. In particular, the programme is designed to enhance research and analytical skills, and modes of presentation (written, electronic and oral); the programme also facilitates the development of an ability to problem solve; to work effectively with others and to plan time with respect to deadlines. This pure psychology course will allow you to gain a scientific understanding of the basic processes by which we learn, think, feel and adapt to our social conditions. The course covers the investigation of behaviour from infancy to old age, and deals with the biological, social and individual factors that affect human psychology. This course offers you the widest possible choice of modules, which enables you to tailor your study as your interests develop. The first year of the course is designed to provide a broad introduction to the study of psychology. It is designed to provide a thorough grounding in the subject for those with no Psychology background while allowing those who have already studied Psychology to increase the breadth and depth of their understanding. The second year follows the new British Psychological Society core topics required for the Graduate Basis for Chartered.
