Overview 

This foundation-level programme prepares students for progression into an interdisciplinary undergraduate degree that combines the study of psychology with education. Delivered at University College London by experienced UCL tutors, it builds the academic writing, mathematical reasoning, and humanities-based knowledge required for degree-level study across both disciplines. The programme strengthens academic English and analytical thinking, preparing students for a course that bridges scientific and social science approaches.

What You'll Learn

• Mathematics geared toward humanities and social science applications, supporting quantitative reasoning

• Academic English skills for structured argument and written analysis

• A choice of complementary subjects, such as classical civilisation, geography and the built environment, or modern European history and politics

• Foundational approaches to interpreting texts, arguments, and evidence across humanities disciplines

• Research and study skills that prepare students for interdisciplinary coursework spanning psychology and education

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this programme, students will be able to construct clear, evidence-based written arguments suited to interdisciplinary academic study. They will have developed quantitative reasoning skills alongside a broadened understanding of humanities or social science perspectives relevant to psychology and education. These outcomes will prepare graduates to enter the first year of a BSc Psychology with Education degree with the analytical foundation and study discipline the programme requires.
