The purpose of this module is to support students to develop an understanding of topics within the areas of Developmental and Clinical Psychology. At the end of the module, students will have an understanding of differing approaches to the causes and treatment of a variety of mental health difficulties, theories of attachment and relationships across the lifespan, and gender formation. In addition, students will develop subject-specific terminology, as well as an understanding of concepts such as individual differences and ethical issues. The module will be taught via 11 weeks of 4 hour classes, composed of 2 x 2 hour lessons. These are small group teaching sessions containing fewer than 20 students per class. Learning will be assessed via a coursework essay and end of semester essay examination. Material will be available to students via the VLE (e.g., lecture slides, online activities, group discussion forum, formative and summative feedback).
