Overview

The Psychology Diploma will investigate why people do the things they do. This home learning course is available in both an online and paper version and can be studied around an individual’s schedule. It is the study of the mind and behaviour. Learners will examine how psychologists have developed their understanding of human behaviour, and also the mental processes that motivate our actions.

The Psychology Diploma is divided into seven modules. All of which will introduce the key theories related to that area of psychology. Modules 2-6 have been split into a Part A and a Part B to assist learners in gaining understanding.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

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.
