Hello, my name is Dr. Bernice Wright and I'm one of the lecturers
on the Psychology course at the University of Hull.
Our course is accredited by the British Psychology Society,
so we cover all the core topics from a historical and also contemporary perspective.
We also have some other modules which are more applied and more relevant
to real life contexts,
which we get really positive feedback from from our students.
Your third year is a really exciting time as you get to choose all of your modules
and your dissertation supervisor, and you engage with staff members
who are experts in their field and use their teaching
to inform their lectures and their supervision.
Third year as well is also a really exciting time for those
with clinical aspirations as you might get on
to the clinical pathways which would make you eligible to apply
for our Fast-track Clinical Doctorate, which is a unique opportunity in the UK.
At Hull, we pride ourselves on being both
personable and also inclusive, so our large lectures have interactivity
to help you learn actively and not passively.
And we supplement these with seminars, workshops and tutorials,
so you have smaller group teaching and get to know your staff a bit more.
We have a range of different assessments so we have exams, coursework, practicals,
and examples of past assessments include video logs, poster conferences and essays.
So it's really a real variety for you to be assessed by.
We support your assignments with both module-specific
resources as well as tutorials.
So our personal supervision system is where you're grouped
with the same peers and a specific member of staff for the three years.
And they give you pastoral and also academic support.
Another thing to mention
about the psychology degree is we embed employability throughout it,
so we have employability content in our tutorials
and in addition, we have a really brilliant careers
department who essentially provide tailored support for our graduates
and our students.
And so our aim is for you to leave knowing both what transferable skills
you can get from our degree,
as well as being able to pursue those extracurricular activities
that you find interesting and that might actually supplement your CV.
So we hope to see you in future.
If you want to come and talk to staff and have a look at our facilities,
then please do come to one of our Open Days.
