About this course

Immerse yourself in the science of learning with our Educational Psychology degree.

  • Explore educational policy and practice in order to create change.

  • Gain the research and analytical skills you need to investigate and generate new knowledge.

  • Take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how, and in which contexts, individuals learn.

    How do we learn as individuals and in groups? And how can policy and practice be changed to support social justice and transform lives?

    Our multidisciplinary Educational Psychology degree uses the lens of psychology to explore educational policy and practice – locally, nationally and internationally – in order to create change.

    Educational Psychology at Bath Spa has professionalism at its core. We’ll help you identify and nurture your career aspirations throughout all three years of your studies. You’ll also gain real-world experience during a placement in your second year.

    You’ll explore the diversity of individuals and the contexts in which they learn. Our aim is that you’ll graduate with the knowledge and skills you need for further study or employment within the educational psychology sector – and beyond.

    This course has been accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and provides eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society, provided you achieve a 2.2 overall and pass the final year dissertation.
