Annual calendar
Our BSc in Psychology follows a rather different academic calendar compared to the other degrees. The first semester of Psychology commences in September and concludes in February. Our students then sit UoL exams in March. The second semester of teaching begins in March/April and continues into June, with corresponding UoL exams held in early September. Psychology students enjoy a well-deserved break in July.
Unlike the other programmes at Forward College, Psychology students also submit courseworks to UoL throughout the year to be graded by UoL staff. This usually accounts for 30% of the module grade, but can account for 100% of the module grade for a minority of modules. This UoL coursework and exam assessment combination takes a little pressure off the exams
A note on BPS accreditation
The UoL BSc Psychology aims to provide students with a thorough understanding of Psychology as a science, covering the core areas of Psychology and their application. The curriculum has been designed by King’s College London academics to meet the requirements for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (Graduate Basis Registration (GBR)) of the British Psychological Society (BPS). This programme was launched in 2020 and is not currently accredited by the BPS.
For those considering postgraduate courses in the UK or becoming a chartered psychologist in the UK, holding a BPS accredited undergraduate degree may be a prerequisite for applications to UK postgraduate programmes on these tracks. BPS-approved conversion courses provide an opportunity for graduates to build on their first-degree qualification to become eligible for the British Psychological Society’s Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership. More information can be found on the BPS website.
