Student Handbook 2017\/18<\/h2>\n

This document contains important information, please read it carefully.<\/h3>\n

What is this handbook? <\/strong>It is produced by the Psychology programme in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health and provides general information essential to undergraduates reading psychology. This handbook should be read in conjunction with other documents produced by the Psychology programme and the University. You will find it useful to refer to this handbook throughout your degree<\/u>. You are advised to re-familiarise yourself with this information at the start of every year of study, and to make use of it as a first point of reference if you have questions about policies and procedures at any point in your degree. You are free to download or print copies of this handbook. However, as with all University documents, certain details may become out-of-date<\/p>\n

(e.g. aspects of assessment may change). As such, we advise that you always refer to the electronic version stored in the BSc Psychology community space on Blackboard, which will always be current. This version was revised in September 2017.<\/p>\n
