Please note the Summer School will provide a taste of studying at UCL and we therefore advise you check the UCL Admissions grade requirements and speak to your teacher about your academic suitability.
Why do we procrastinate and how can we stop it? How can we reduce bullying in schools? Does music impact our language and wellbeing? These are examples of some of the research projects being conducted by the staff who teach on the UCL Psychology and Education undergraduate degree.
The Summer School will involve interactive sessions that will give you a taster of our areas of research and how it can be applied to real-life settings (e.g., in Education). You will take part in real psychology experiments and gain hand-on experience of different research tools.
You'll discuss the validity and reliability of different psychological measures; then debate the strengths and weaknesses of different tools available to help us measure human thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
By the end of the Summer School, you will have a clear understanding of:
1. what psychology is;
2. the different areas of study on the Psychology with Education degree;
3. the skills required to pursue a career in psychology.
Overall, the Summer School aims to provide an experience of studying at University and we will provide you with advice around the application process and future career pathways in Psychology and Education.
