Unit Award Scheme
Psychology
Here you will find a wide range of Unit Award Scheme (UAS) units for psychology.
We've organised the units into categories relating to different career/degree pathways. Some of the categories include: clinical psychology, education, criminology, sports psychology, research methods, and topics in psychology.
The units can be used to support a wide range of activities within your centre, including:
- super-curricular activities
- UCAS and job applications
- transition activities (supporting students as they prepare for the next step in their educational journey)
- enrichment activities
- group tutorial sessions
- short 'Introduction to psychology' courses
- psychology taster sessions
- psychology clubs.
Students will receive a certificate each time they complete a unit. By recognising their achievements in this way, the scheme allows students to engage with learning and take clear steps towards success.
