Module 1: Abnormal Psychology
This module delivers an introduction into a range of common psychological disorders, from their aetiology, symptoms, prognosis, to possible treatment options. Whilst the module largely mirrors classifications systems used in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders) and ICD (International Classification of Disease), the student is also encouraged to consider additional issues, such as the definition of normality and abnormality, and when is an individual’s behaviour within the bounds of what is regarded as “normal” in society and when is it “abnormal”?
It aims to help you better understand common mental health issues so you can recognise and accommodate the behaviours of the people you work with and interact with, so you can relate and communicate with them in a more understanding and positively beneficial manner.
Module 2: Criminal Psychology
This module aims to provide a fascinating insight into the mind of the criminal and what makes someone commit criminal offences. There are many different theories and approaches to understanding the origins of criminal behaviour, from social learning theories, to labelling theory, to individual differences. It is important to understand different theories in order to nurture a broad understanding of how crime is conceptualised. Once this is in place you can better understand the thoughts and behaviours of criminals and people who cross the boundary of what is considered acceptable in society. You will gain an understanding of criminal psychology and how psychology is used in law enforcement and crime prevention.
Module 3: Managing Mental Health in Adults
This module is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of various mental health issues affecting adults. It begins with an introduction to mental health problems, delving into specific conditions such as depression in men and women, anxiety, phobias, OCD, schizophrenia, antisocial personality disorders, eating disorders and dementias.
It not only focuses on the identification and characteristics of these mental health issues but also emphasises practical approaches for self-help and explores the available services for mental health support. It equips you with the knowledge to understand and address these conditions, enhancing your ability to manage mental health effectively in adult populations.
Module 4: Legal Terminology
This module aims to increase your understanding of legal terminology, which is useful for people in a variety of professions, from paralegals, to legal assistants and receptionists, to law enforcement officers, writers and journalists, campaigners and activists, to authorised government inspectors and officers. It’s also beneficial to those looking to improve their understanding of the government and the community.
Module 5: Psychopharmacology (Drugs & Psychology)
This module is designed to help you understand how different types of drugs (manmade and natural) can influence our behaviour. From substance abuse, dependency, and withdrawal effects on the nervous system, to the impacts of drugs on society, this introductory module provides a solid foundation to psychopharmacology.
You will learn how our thinking can be affected by both legal and illegal drugs, the effects of painkillers, alcohol and prescription drugs, and discover the differences between the main groups of illicit drugs and how to identify drug abuse and dependence.
You’ll be fully supported with access to an allocated student support advisor, mentor and course consultants, who are available 5 days per week.
