Description

Throughout the course, you’ll develop your awareness of the theoretical and scientific underpinnings of psychology, including its origins, limitations and progression. You’ll also develop knowledge of the diversity and variability of functioning and its significance in criminal psychology, explicitly in relation to offender profiling. And finally, you’ll also learn to recognise a wide range of influences on psychological functioning and how these are conceptualised across the two core discipline areas of cognitive psychology and social psychology.

Along with the subject-specific knowledge that you’ll achieve, you will also develop a range of career-related, transferable skills including the ability to evaluate evidence, to confidently communicate and discuss issues in a professional environment and how to identify patterns of behaviour.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
