Information about the Psychology and Language Sciences Affiliate programme |
This is a new Affiliate programme at MyAV·¶, for students with an interest in the scientific study of the human mind and communication, offering them the opportunity to study in a multidisciplinary research-led environment. Affiliate Students take the same classes as MyAV·¶ undergraduates on the Psychology & Language Sciences degree and can choose to attend for the Fall Term, Spring & Summer Terms or the Full Academic Year. A full list of the modules available is on this page: Affiliate programmes in PsychologyÌýand in LinguisticsÌýare also available. |
Structure of the Programme |
Undergraduate affiliates attending MyAV·¶ for a full year must take 120 credits worth of modules (usually a total of eight modules). Students attending MyAV·¶ for one term of teaching - either Term 1 (Autumn term), or for both Terms 2 and 3 (Spring and Summer terms, respectively) – are expected to take modules totalling 60 credits (usually a total of four modules). PALS undergraduate affiliate students must take at least half of their modules from the list of PALS modules offered, available on theÌýBSc/MSci Psychology & Language Sciences modules available to other students page. You can study a range of modules to match your own interests or take modules in one of our specialist areas: Communication Disorders
Sign Language and Deaf Studies
* Note that this is not a PALS module, but we include it here as it is highly relevant and you will be able to take it Speech Sciences
In addition, you can choose optional modules with the MyAV·¶ Division of Psychology & Language Sciences and from other MyAV·¶ departments, though note that numbers for many modules across MyAV·¶ may be limited. PALS modules are taught by lecture, often supported by laboratory classes or small-group tutorials. A significant amount of independent study is also expected. Prospective affiliate students should consult their home university to confirm that they can get credit for the modules taken at MyAV·¶, and may consult the affiliate tutor at MyAV·¶ to ensure that modules are running and that the modules chosen are at the right level for the student's academic background. |
Assessment |
Undergraduate Affiliate students taking PALS modules are assessed in the same way as degree programme students, wherever possible. You can find information on assessment methods via the list of modules. Alternative assessments may be arranged for modules assessed by an examination scheduled to take place after you return to your home university. Honour Code |
