This BPS core module aims to develop the depth and breadth of students’ understanding of primary and contemporary theory and research in three essential areas: social psychology, developmental psychology and individual differences. The subject matter is introduced and investigated through topic-focused lectures, research workshops and collaborative investigations. A focus on developmental psychology will see you study the biological, social, emotional and cognitive processes and changes of infancy and childhood as these are the periods during an individual's lifespan when the most change occurs. In social psychology, interpersonal and intergroup processes will be studied and applied to everyday life with the objective of developing students’ understanding of human sociality. Throughout the module, several aspects of psychological approaches to understanding individual differences will be considered such as humanistic theories of development and social learning theory.
This BPS core module aims to give you an overview of biological and cognitive psychology as well as an introduction to the biological basis of heritable traits. The anatomy and physiology of the nervous system is considered; attention is focused on aspects of behaviour that have a clear biological component with an emphasis on individual differences in biology. Through a series of psychophysiology lab sessions you will investigate specific central and peripheral nervous system variables and their relation to behaviour and individual differences. The cognitivist approach to psychology will be outlined and key theories relating to major cognitive faculties explored. Both cognitive and biological approaches will explore pathology and neuropsychological case studies. You will also be given an overview of individual variability with respect to biological processes and cognitive mechanisms, along with an introduction to personality psychology and how this relates to biopsychology and cognitive science.
This module aims to introduce you to the history, principles and methods of neuropsychology with a particular emphasis on case studies. It will introduce the causes and symptoms of major neuropsychological disorders of language, vision, memory, emotion, personality, olfaction and development, and the theories accounting for each. The extent to which case studies (in combination with data from brain imaging) inform us about the functioning of the healthy brain in these cognitive functions will be demonstrated. You will be encouraged to develop skills of critical thinking, writing and discussion.
The module provides you with an insight into common brain disorders and their aetiology, pathological processes, relevant investigations and medical, surgical and palliative treatments. In addition, the module aims to provide you with a framework for an understanding of different types of diseases, which are rare and may encounter in practice or in their studies.
You'll pursue independent or group-based study with a designated supervisor on a topic not offered in-depth among the normal range of modules. You will be expected to carry out an investigation using a recognised psychology or cognitive science research method, and produce an independently written final dissertation based on that research. All projects will require Ethical Approval through the University’s MORE system, regardless of the type and nature of the project. The topic and methodology of this dissertation must be agreed with the supervisor in advance of applying for ethical approval. Undertaking this module will enable participants to demonstrate their methodological and statistical knowledge acquired through previous research methods training; it will develop their competence in the production of coherent written reports which are clearly presented; will have an analytic and critical orientation and will provide the opportunity for final year students to become competent and self-sufficient researchers whilst meeting BPS guidelines.
The aim of this module is to produce a high quality, independently motivated individual dissertation on a topic chosen by you alongside a supervisor who is willing to engage with their niche subject. This option is only open to students who have achieved at least a 2.1 or above grade in Research Methods in Year 2. Students who wish to conduct an extended dissertation will be first required to submit an application outlining a brief research proposal using the form provided on the PSY3330 (Psychology Dissertation) module page or from the module leader. In conjunction with the module leader proposed supervisors will make a decision as to whether the research proposal is viable and you can take the extended dissertation. Once the project has been accepted and the form signed by a supervisor, you will be transferred to PSY3331 (Extended Psychology Dissertation) and an adjustment made to the module programme to accommodate the extra credits. Students pursue independent study with a designated supervisor on a topic not offered in-depth among the normal range of modules. You will be expected to independently contribute to the design of the research protocol, carry out the research and analyse data for then investigation. You will adhere to using a recognised psychological research method, and produce an independent dissertation based on that research. Undertaking this module will enable students to develop their methodological, analytical and statistical knowledge acquired through previous research methods training; it will develop their competence in the production of coherent written reports which are clearly presented and which have an analytic and critical orientation and it will provide the opportunity for final year students to become competent and self-sufficient researchers. Students who have a keen interest in academic research and/or considering post graduate study in psychology are advised to consider taking this extended dissertation module.
This module provides you with an opportunity to plan and develop your career and/or study goals and prospects for life after graduation. The module aims to encourage a deeper understanding of the relationship between theory, research evidence and professional practice, whilst allowing you to develop, review, reflect on and improve employment skills within the context of your own career goals. It will also further develop your independent learning and communication skills through reflection on experiential learning. Finally, the module aims to prepare you to apply for postgraduate study and/or graduate employment after graduation.
This module aims to develop the depth and breadth of your qualitative research methods knowledge and practice by equipping you with a combination of practical and theoretical skills.

Cognitive neuroscience is at the forefront of advances in psychology. It is the study of brain states and how such brain states are related to behaviour and cognition. Many of the recent advances in the field are due to the rapid development and use of technology that allows us to infer what the brain is doing during different psychological states. This module aims to provide an introduction to the theory that underpins cognitive neuroscience techniques such as EEG, TMS, fMRI, TES. Moreover, and importantly the module will aim to provide a hands-on approach to learning how to use them. In this module you will have the chance to learn how to use advanced equipment by practicing with it. The aim is to teach how the equipment works, how to analyse the data, and what questions different methods can answer and what are its limitations by using them.
This module aims to introduce you to music psychology, a new field studying human psychological responses to music, which include emotion regulation, cognitive benefits, inter-personal coordination and empathy. The study of music as part of human communication and cognition has long eluded the psychological disciplines. Yet music is universal, very present in everyday life and most people are music users in different forms and to varying degrees. In the last twenty years, the amount of published studies and applications has blossomed, making of music psychology a very topical area with significant ramifications in educational (e.g., reading) and rehabilitative contexts (e.g., Parkinson’s), as well as health, well-being and developmental disorders. The module aims to introduce aspects of music as they have been studied within different psychological fields, including behavioural neuroscience. The module would ideally combine with language modules, general cognitive neuroscience, education, atypical, health, psychology of art.

The module includes a skill component introducing students to a selection of main tests used in the assessment of language and literacy, which will be associated with a practical report.
Humans are only one species of primate. We share the world with chimpanzees, orang-utans, bonobos, and gorillas – in addition to more than five hundred other species of primate, everything from lemurs to marmosets to mandrills. To understand ourselves is to understand the primate background to our biology, behaviour, and cognition. This module will provide a comprehensive survey of the living primates with a focus of research in the wild (ethology) and in the psychology lab (comparative psychology). This module will provide you with up-to-date knowledge of the major areas of study. The primatology module will provide a rich learning opportunity for students who want to understand the foundations of human nature that we share with our primate cousins.

The module may encourage you to explore further training in Coaching and Coaching Psychology as part of your professional and career development.
Why do we have a fundamental need to connect with others? This module considers the ‘big’ questions about intimate relationships, and takes a scientific approach to investigating topics such as closeness, trust, love, partner selection, issues in relationships (conflict, betrayal, infidelity, jealousy and power) and relationship maintenance and dissolution (including separation and loss). The aim is to develop knowledge and understanding of theories and models of intimate relationships and the research that has contributed to this. With its emphasis on ‘science’, the module will go beyond the classic psychological approach of intimate relationships (e.g. theories of attachment, interpersonal attraction and love), to consider relevant theory and research from the broader behavioural sciences (e.g. evolutionary biology, physiology, cybernetics and artificial intelligence). The module takes a research and practice lead perspective, to examine how theory, research tools and data have been translated into practice, including sessions from practicing clinicians, bringing examples of their clinical practice to illustrate theory. The module will be of interest to those wanting to further understand how and why intimate relationships are a defining feature of human experience.
This module aims to provide your with a foundation in the operations of human memory and is ideally suited if you enjoyed learning about key principles of how memory works at Level 5. The focus will be on long-term memory, and you will build upon their existing knowledge through consideration of classic and contemporary research that has shaped current theory. With both a theoretical and applied focus, content will surround perspectives on the operations of different kinds of long-term memory (e.g., explicit and implicit, semantic and episodic), the basic memory processes and factors that affect them, memory enhancement and impairment, memory and ageing, the reconstructive nature of memory, and practical and contemporary issues in the study of human memory. This module provides a rich learning opportunity if you have an interest in further study or a research career in cognitive psychology / cognitive neuroscience.
The module aims to explore the psychology of lifespan development using theoretical and research orientated approaches. It considers how psychological knowledge of ways in which development can be investigated and observed using research can be undertaken from a variety of perspectives, as well as how it can be understood using models of cognitive, biological, socio-ecological, psychodynamic and developmental psychology. The module aims to develop your understanding of how theoretical, empirical and personal examples arising in the fields of academia, research and clinical practice contribute to understanding of lifespan development and can be practically applied to Lifespan investigation.
How does talking therapy overlap with the science of psychology? This mental health module will explore therapeutic approaches to psychology. It will focus on key aspects of psychological therapeutic theory and practice through examining cognitive behavioural, psychoanalytic and systemic approaches to therapy. This module will be suitable for those considering a career in clinical or counselling psychology or those interested in training in other talking therapies. The aim is also to advance your capacity for reflection and critical analysis in relation to working psychotherapeutically with mental health issues. The role of culture, diversity and external circumstances with regard to psychotherapy will also be considered. Through engaging with complex case studies you will be able to apply psychological theory to case conceptualisation, intervention and the process of clinical practice. Although this will not qualify you to practice as clinicians, you will be introduced to the inner workings of everyday therapeutic practice through learning about the lived experiences of practising clinicians.
This module aims to introduce you to the area of occupational psychology particularly in relation to stress, motivation and work-life balance. The module will introduce theories which underlie stress with a strong focus on the role of stress in the workplace. You will also gain an understanding of work-life balance and the real-world applications of promoting good work-life balance. The topics will be covered in a variety of ways which will allow you to engage with some of the critical debates around the area. This will range from the complexities surrounding the conceptualisation of work-life balance, to the impact it can have on the health of employees, whilst also incorporating the role of the employer. Although, motivation and stress in the workplace are areas which have been traditionally researched in relation to workplace psychology, both areas, along with work-life balance are currently yielding a lot of innovative research. The module will allow you to critically engage with an emerging and increasingly popular area of occupational psychology and it will appeal to students who have an interest in occupational psychology, but specifically the links between work and home life, and how psychology has helped to shape this discipline. Since work-based stress, motivation and work-life balance are all employment-based topics, the content will be relevant to students beyond their degree and can be carried into their chosen areas of employment. Particularly those who are planning to go into Human Resources, Occupational Psychology or wish to pursue a postgraduate course in this area.
This module aims to introduce you to core aspects of evolutionary theory and to demonstrate the application of evolutionary theory to behaviour. The principal aim is to demonstrate how behaviour can be regarded as the product of biological evolution. A secondary aim is to discuss how evolutionary approaches complement other frameworks and add another level of explanation to scientific understanding. You will cover various different evolutionary approaches including ethology, behavioural ecology and evolutionary psychology; discussing key findings and methodological differences.
The module aims to (a) to develop your understanding of how theoretical, empirical and personal examples arising in the fields of academia, research and clinical practice contribute to understanding life experience and psychology and (b) to encourage you to think reflectively about the psychological relevance of social norms, expectations, stereotypes and issues of personal identity and nurture on life experience and development. This module requires engagement with comparative psychological theory, literature research skills and an in-depth engagement with a detailed area of psychological functioning.

Faiza Yasmin Ahad
BSc Psychology with Neuroscience, 3rd year student
I chose this course because I wanted to explore psychology but with a more scientific element to it. I wanted to focus on my personal enjoyment but also maximise my career prospects. Psychology with Neuroscience felt like the best of both worlds as it has a more practical side, but it’s still BPS accredited. The psychology facilities are very impressive and the lecturers are all so positive and motivational.
Middlesex University has been really good to me and I received support, library help, and free printing. All of my tutors remained open and accessible which made it so much easier to approach them with problems or questions. There have also been revision sessions and optional one to one meetings with the academics. I love that everything on campus is in one place, it makes it feel like a little community. I feel at home here – it’s going to be weird to leave.
To someone considering this course I would say be prepared to do lots of extra reading! I would also explain that the course opens up two really exciting worlds of psychology and neuroscience, revealing infinite knowledge to explore and be curious about.
Katarzyna Marek
BSc Psychology with Neuroscience, 3rd year student
Psychology with neuroscience is a fast emerging area and quite niche in London hence why I was drawn to this course. I studied Biology and Chemistry at A Level so I liked the idea of continuing with the hard sciences too.
The Middlesex University campus is really modern and everything is in one place. The employability service in particular have provided great support with enhancing my CV which I’m really thankful for. Lecturers always reinforce that there are no stupid questions, so I’ve always felt I could ask anything; they have helped me to believe in myself.
The psychology facilities are impressive; we've worked in both biological and cognitive psychology labs, using equipment such as biofeedback technology and EEG machines.
I'm currently on my placement year as an Assistant Psychologist in a local hospital which so far has been an amazing opportunity. I've learnt so much from this placement so I'd recommend it to anybody studying this course – being in the field among other professionals is both eye-opening and inspiring and provides real life experience as well as career insight. After I graduate, I would like to pursue a Clinical Psychology doctorate.
