This programme enables you to test out psychological theories in real-life settings, including education, and to appreciate an interdisciplinary perspective. You will be taught by people engaged in cutting-edge research in child and adolescent development, education, atypical development (e.g. autism, dyslexia), learning and neuroscience. The Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates (UPCs) are intensive one-year foundation courses for international students of high academic potential who are aiming to gain access to undergraduate degree programmes at UCL and other top UK universities. You will acquire quantitative and qualitative skills based on the scientific methods of psychology and its application to education by critically evaluating research data and conducting your own research studies. You will have also developed a range of highly transferable skills including problem-solving, communication, essay-writing and critical thinking. This degree provides the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS), an entry requirement for many BPS-accredited postgraduate courses (e.g. educational or clinical psychology). Alternatively, you may wish to pursue a career in research, healthcare, teaching or other education settings; or even in business, management, marketing and human resources.
