This module relates specifically to HCPC Standard of Proficiency set 12 as it provides the context to develop understanding the key concepts of the knowledge base relevant to the profession. Practice learning is an essential aspect of training to allow you to experience the role of the EP across the three years of the doctorate. Placements are an arena for exploring theory and for gaining experience across the range of Children’s Services, including schools. At Southampton, placement learning is designed to enable progression towards independent work across all three years and is able to offer you extended placements with three Services. This is the 3rd module of 3 related ones (Psychology in Practice 1, 2 and 3) and runs alongside Consultation, Assessment and Intervention. It offers the opportunity to extend the knowledge and skills taught on the programme, and on placement in Year 2.

This module provides further support, in a different placement, for you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the varied environments within which educational psychology services are delivered. You are expected to take increasing responsibility for your own practice, negotiating with service users appropriate activities for an applied psychologist. While Supervisors remain in close touch with you, the level of supervision is reduced and more independent practice is encouraged.

Psychology is a broad discipline, and students who study Psychology go on to work in a diverse range of settings. This includes workplaces involving health or clinical applications, education, academic research, teaching, and data science, as well as roles that use Psychology backgrounds as applied to Human Resources, Marketing, and more. Navigating this broad employment landscape can prove challenging, and the goal of this module is to equip students with the tools and skills necessary to take the first steps towards the career path of their choice.

Advertising is an everyday and significant phenomenon. Sponsors hire agencies to inform us about, and persuade us to buy, innumerable branded products and services on the market, though a variety of mass media. Advertisements also urge us to donate to charity, vote for candidates, or adopt particular lifestyles. Furthermore, advertising may be blatant or subtle, inoffensive or controversial, conventional or ground-breaking. It may succeed, fail, or backfire. It is partly an intuitive art and partly an empirical science.

The course will initially address advertising from the perspective of the psychology of attitude change, seeking to understand it better through the lens of several classic and contemporary theories that are informed by empirical evidence. To this end, several chapters in a textbook will be studied.

Later, the course will turn to half-a-dozen specialist topics of particular interest, such as the ethics of advertising, the psychology of online clickbait, and role of associative conditioning. To this end, lectures with links to additional studies will be studied.

Students will also be taught how to produce a real print advertisement, on behalf of a local Southampton business, in accordance with the principles recommended by famous and contemporary advertisers.

Students will further learn how, in an extended piece of writing, to apply the principles they learn to a topic of contemporary relevance, such as the understanding of scams.

The curriculum may also include sessions and tutorials featuring one or more invited speakers who specialize in, or make use of advertising, such as business CEOs or professional copywriters.

In this module, we will explore possible answers to questions such as: What constitutes physical and interpersonal attraction? How many types of love are there? Where are the main sources of attraction? What difference do relationships make to people's lives? What triggers the start of romantic relationships? Why do people who once loved one another break up? Does evolution dictate the mating strategies that men and women adopt?

No single theory can fully answer such questions. Nonetheless, different theories can provide partial or likely answers.
