Unit 3 Applications of Psychology

The aim of this unit is to enable you to study how psychology can be applied to the real world. Each of the four applications within this unit is related to vocational contexts in which a psychology graduate (with the appropriate training) may operate. In this sense, the unit is intended to further contextualise and make real the understanding of approaches. There is a focus on evaluation, assessment, application and comment as well as on knowledge.

criminological psychology

child psychology

health psychology: substance misuse

sport psychology

Assessment will consist of an examination paper of 1 hour 30 minutes duration, divided into four options, of which you must select two. Each option will consist of short-answer questions and a section of extended writing.
