The Parapsychology Essentials course offers a structured introduction to the study of unexplained human experiences and anomalous phenomena. You’ll begin with an overview of what parapsychology is, tracing its history and examining its role within the UK academic and research landscape.
Core modules explore extrasensory perception (ESP), including telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition, supported by documented research and case studies. Psychokinesis (PK) is examined in detail, with attention to both historical accounts and modern experiments. You’ll investigate hauntings, poltergeist activity, and significant UK-based cases, learning to distinguish between reported patterns and possible natural explanations.
The course also covers near-death experiences (NDEs) and out-of-body experiences (OBEs), incorporating both anecdotal accounts and scientific inquiry. A critical perspective is encouraged through dedicated lessons on skepticism, scientific critiques, and the future of parapsychology in modern research. By the end, you’ll have a balanced understanding of parapsychology, its evidence base, and its role in wider scientific and cultural contexts.
This course is designed for anyone interested in exploring the scientific, historical, and cultural dimensions of parapsychology. It is suitable for students of psychology or related fields, researchers seeking to broaden their knowledge, or curious learners fascinated by topics like ESP, psychokinesis, hauntings, and near-death experiences. No prior experience in parapsychology is required, making it accessible to both beginners and those with some background knowledge.
To enrol, you will need a good understanding of written English, access to a device with internet connectivity, and the motivation to complete a self-paced online learning programme.
Graduates of the Parapsychology Essentials course may explore opportunities in research support, writing or broadcasting on parapsychology topics, working with academic or investigative organisations, or using their knowledge to complement careers in psychology, counselling, or education.
