The BSc (Hons) Psychology (Top-up) is the final year of a Goldsmiths, University of London degree, taught full-time on campus at BCAS Campus in Colombo. It is designed for students progressing from the Pearson BTEC HND in Counselling and Applied Psychology and aims to meet the threshold standards of a UK psychology degree. The 120-credit curriculum is all core. Term 1 covers the core domains of psychology, psychological processes and behaviour in applied contexts, and advanced psychological research. Term 2 adds advanced biopsychology and mental health, developmental and social psychology, and personality and individual differences. A 30-credit Independent Psychology Project runs through both terms, with supervision and guidance on ethics, data protection and risk assessment. Because the HND is applied and counselling oriented, the year uses a compensatory design to bridge into disciplinary psychology, with academic advisors, study skills workshops and data analysis support. The programme has no formal credit-bearing placement, though optional applied projects may be available.
240 credits at Levels 4 and 5, normally through the Pearson BTEC HND in Counselling and Applied Psychology or an equivalent qualification.
IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
