As one of London's oldest universities we have been committed to meeting the needs of the city and our students for over 100 years. Since 1892 we've been providing students with relevant real world opportunities, meeting the needs for a profession-focused workforce. Vocational courses were at the heart of what we do even before the term was thought of and today we offer one of the most strongly vocational-orientated course portfolios around. By learning with us our students become equipped to take on their first full-time role or pursue their next promotion through their Continuing Professional Development. Through their research, knowledge of the work place and professional links our teaching staff maintain strong relationships with industry and the local community. This is a huge benefit to our students who can be confident they are being taught by academics with highly relevant knowledge and skills. Starting in Borough Road we have been educating our community for over 100 years and are a major local landmark With over 25,000 students, LSBU is one of the largest universities in London. Our students are drawn here from across the globe, throughout the UK and from just around the corner. Our flexible courses attract many part-time students and we offer qualifications at a variety of levels.

London south bank university: psychology.

Full-Time, 12 months starts Sep 2024

An exceptionally versatile degree, we'll provide you with a rich understanding of human behaviour and the processes that underlie learning, memory, social interactions, feelings, thinking and communication.

We're amongst the first in the UK to teach the core curriculum in an integrated manner, where a concept is explored from multiple perspectives in the same module.

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and satisfies the requirements for the Graduate Basis of Chartership in just one year; a vital step in your journey towards becoming a professional psychologist. Previous study of psychology is not required.

**Why Psychology at LSBU?** Industry relevance – the course structure stems from best practice recommendations made by The British Psychological Society.

Professional accreditation – the course is accredited by The British Psychological Society.

Dedicated facilities – our lab complex includes an eye-tracking facility and observation room.

Previous study of psychology is not required.

Part-Time, 24 months starts Sep 2024

Full-time, 12 months started sep 2023, part-time, 24 months started sep 2023, master of research - mres, full-time, 1 years.

Overview A member of staff, expert in the chosen field, is directly responsible for guiding and supporting your research programme. As a research student you'll become part of our thriving academic community.

An MRes, by definition, is an original contribution to knowledge. A research degree is different from a taught course. Research students are expected to self-direct their learning with support from a supervisory team. The teaching and learning style at MRes level takes the form of 1:1 supervision, e-learning and workshops.

Research excellence In the most recent Research Excellence Framework Psychology was rated:

60% of our research was awarded 3* out of 4* - 'very considerable impacts in terms of their reach and significance' 85% of submitted publications to be internationally recognised, internationally excellent or world leading. Our research has made a difference at many levels: influencing policy and creating new commercial capabilities. Our scientists work in multidisciplinary teams to target major societal challenges in the areas of human health, well-being, performance and behaviour. We apply theory in theses areas to contemporary real world issues by undertaking innovative and rigorous science.

Employability Research skills development All research students are required to participate in a Key Skills Development programme aimed at developing transferable skills in addition to those employed in carrying out research. Training in research methods is available through frequent research seminars.

When necessary the research student can follow, in part, relevant Masters courses available within the School and in particular units on research methodology. In some cases, research students are encouraged to follow other courses available within the University or externally aimed at improving their general expertise in their chosen areas.

In addition, they may be encouraged to follow language courses aimed at improving their oral and written skills - both essential in their future careers.

Transferable skills A research degree will equip you with many transferable skills. The self-discipline, the demand for clear analytical thinking, and the ability to turn criticism of others work into something constructive of your own, all constitute a unique training for almost any kind of career. The excitement and satisfaction of finding new facts, a new idea, or a new way of looking at something can be highly rewarding.

Attending conferences Research students are often sponsored to attend national and international conferences and to meet leading scientists in their fields and to present their research findings. The progress of all research students is formally monitored by the University's Research Degree Committee.

Employability Service We are University of the Year for Graduate Employment for the second year in a row - The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018, 2019.

At LSBU, we want to set you up for a successful career. During your studies – and for two years after you graduate – you’ll have access to our Employability Service, which includes:

An online board where you can see a wide range of placements: part-time, full-time or voluntary. You can also drop in to see our Job Shop advisers, who are always available to help you take the next step in your search. Our Careers Gym offering group workshops on CVs, interview techniques and finding work experience, as well as regular presentations from employers across a range of sectors. Our Student Enterprise team can also help you start your own business and develop valuable entrepreneurial skills.

Housing services

LSBU is a part of the UUK which protects our students’ rights to safe, high-quality accommodation. This ensures our students get the best out of their time living in our residences. It outlines everything students can expect from our us as well as their responsibilities as tenants. The Code has already raised standards of accommodation at LSBU and underpins our ongoing dedication to our students. We are fully committed to providing safe, comfortable living environments which will help support our students in leading a successful and enjoyable student life.

Library services

LSBU has three library buildings - the Perry Library on Southwark Campus, which holds items for all LSBU courses, Havering Campus Library, which holds items for health-related courses, and Croydon Campus Library.

We have a range of study environments for individual and group learning, course materials, online information resources, as well as over 230,000 books and DVDs.

Campus life

• LSBU’s Southwark campus is in Elephant and Castle. It’s our main campus and has been our home since 1892. 
• Our new Croydon campus is now open and will play a key role in our mission to transform lives, communities, businesses and society, through applied education. Croydon is fast becoming one of London's largest growth centres and our new home in Electric House is the first and only university in this ambitious community.

I am a lecture and researcher in Psychology, within the School of Applied Science. I am Level 4 Lead for Undergraduates and the Lead for Hourly Paid Lecturers. I gained my BSc in psychology at London South Bank University and was awarded the British Psychological Society, Best Final Year Student prize. I returned to LSBU to complete a PhD which investigated reasoning and in particular, strategy use in children and adults with and without dyslexia.

Prior to joining London South Bank University, I have previously worked in fraud management, Change Management, and as a Senior Technical Support Engineer.

I am a cognitive psychologist whose research interest is in strategy use in individuals with and without dyslexia. In particular, I have researched strategy use when reasoning with concrete and abstract words and images. This research also interested in how external representation of information and its effect on reasoning strategy employed. Other research areas of interest also include working memory, executive functioning, child development, decision making in risky environments and individual differences. Additionally, I am also involved in research investigating the awarding gap in university education for students from a BAME background.

On October 10, 2023, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) published final regulations on Financial Value Transparency (FVT) and Gainful Employment (GE), which become effective July 1, 2024 ( 88 FR 70004 ). These regulations, in part, (1) Establish a transparency framework to provide information about financial costs and benefits to students at nearly all academic programs at postsecondary institutions that are eligible to participate in the student assistance programs authorized under title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA); and (2) Establish an eligibility framework for postsecondary educational programs designed to prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. Both the transparency and accountability frameworks rely upon D/E rates and an EP measure, as established under §§ 668.403 and 668.404 respectively, to assess debt and earnings outcomes for postsecondary program graduates.

The calculation of these metrics is based, in part, on the earnings of a cohort of graduates measured several years after program completion. The cohort period, as defined under § 668.2(b), is the set of award years used to identify a group of students who completed a program and whose debt and earnings outcomes are used to calculate the D/E rates and EP measure. The specific years included in the cohort period used in calculating D/E and EP metrics for a given program depend, in part, upon whether the program is a qualifying graduate program, as separately defined under § 668.2(b) Qualifying graduate program.

In developing the regulations, the Department recognized that certain graduate programs, mostly concentrated in medical and clinical fields, are associated with an initial period of depressed graduate earnings while graduates complete a required period of postgraduate clinical or residency work necessary to obtain a professional licensure, after which graduates realize significant earnings growth. For purposes of calculating the D/E rates and EP measure, the Department therefore extends the earnings measurement period for such qualifying graduate programs, when compared to other postsecondary programs. As an example, a two-year cohort period for most programs would be the third and fourth award years prior to the year of the most recent earnings data used in the calculation. In contrast, the two-year cohort period for a qualifying graduate program would be the sixth and seventh award years prior to the year of the earnings data, meaning that income is measured three years farther out after graduation for completers of such programs. These cohorts are used to measure earnings for both the standard and transitional reporting options under the FVT/GE regulations.

To be treated as a qualifying graduate program, a program must meet three specific and rigorous criteria. First, the program must be identified under the CIP code list below as being potentially eligible to be considered a qualified graduate program. Second, the program must be one whose students must complete a ”required postgraduation training program” to obtain licensure, which is a supervised training program that (1) requires the student to hold a degree in one of the qualifying fields and (2) must be completed before the student may be licensed by a State and board certified for professional practice or service. Third, the institution must attest that at least half of the program's graduates obtain licensure in a State where the postgraduation training requirements apply, and that, if necessary for licensure, the graduate program is accredited by an accrediting agency that meets State requirements. For the first criterion, paragraph (1)(i)(A) of the regulatory definition of a qualifying graduate program at § 668.2(b) provides a generalized list of occupations for qualifying graduate programs, which will apply to the first three award years the Department calculates the D/E rates and EP measure. The qualifying fields for this initial period include medicine, osteopathy, dentistry, clinical psychology, marriage and family counseling, clinical social work, and clinical counseling.

The National Center for Education Statistics provides a taxonomy of instructional program classifications and descriptions, most recently updated in 2020, known as CIP codes. For purposes of the FVT and GE regulations, specific programs offered by institutions are classified using a six-digit CIP code.

Consistent with this regulatory definition, the Secretary identifies the following graduate programs under their respective CIP codes as being potentially eligible to be considered a qualified graduate program, conditional on meeting all other required criteria:

As further described in the regulatory definition of a qualifying graduate program, the above list of eligible professions applies only to the initial three award years the Department Start Printed Page 53988 calculates the D/E and EP metrics. Following this initial period, and every three award years thereafter, the Secretary will publish an updated list of CIP codes that contains qualifying graduate programs, identifying fields that lead to a graduate degree for which graduates must complete postgraduate training programs averaging at least three years to complete and for which the Secretary determines that a majority of programs demonstrate outlier earnings growth.
