News today from the Open University about the launch of a new postgraduate module. Too late for me to be interested, but perhaps it’s an encouraging sign that the social science faculty is re-engaging with people wanting to study at this level after withdrawing all of its masters-level qualifications a few years ago.
The Faculty of Science, in partnership with the Faculty of Social Sciences, is offering a new Masters level module starting in February 2014.
SD815 Contemporary Issues in Brain and Behaviour: Psychosis and Dementia, is particularly relevant to psychology graduates who are interested in neuropsychology, biological psychology and clinical psychology, and may wish to progress to a Science based Masters degree following their undergraduate studies. SD815 is an online module that draws on biological, psychological and social sciences to investigate psychosis and dementia, conditions that are of major health concern and socio-economic impact in today’s global society. It is a core option (60pt module) in our MSc in Science (F12) and MSc in Professional Science (F60) qualifications.
