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; and the writing of a report.

The module aims to:

• give you more extensive experience in carrying out a larger, and more carefully conducted investigation, than is possible under the conditions of the research methods course
• give you this experience 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.
