Course Overview


Understanding mental health is key to working across a range of settings both within and outside of healthcare environments. Across this course, you can learn about diagnosing mental health disorders, examine factors influencing mental health and wellbeing across the lifespan, and understand vulnerability and resilience in the context of psychological and cognitive process. The course also explores approaches to treatment, looking at therapy and counselling skills and exploring the theory behind these

This degree aligns closely with the Psychology BSc (Hons) degree. The specialist elements of the programme are taught by a mix of experienced practitioners, researchers, and guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds such as working with those who have complex mental health needs. Areas of expertise within the teaching staff on the course, include psychobiological mechanism of mental health vulnerability, mindfulness in children, and models of wellbeing. There is also expertise in areas such as sleep, gambling, and eating disorders across the wider School of Psychology. These are offered as electives in the third year to enable further specialisation to complement the core mental health programme.

How You Study

Our School aims to produce graduates who are critical thinkers and independent researchers. This means that graduating students are expected to be able to tackle psychological problems and issues as independent researchers taking a critical and analytical approach.

The course also aims to equip you with the ability to reflect on the nature of human behaviour in an informed and systematic manner, and to provide them with an opportunity to gain an understanding of the scope of clinical psychology theory and practice.

During the final year, you can choose from a wide selection of optional modules and are expected to complete an extended independent study. At this stage, it is expected that the majority of your studies will be determined by your interests and career aspirations.

Teaching takes place in large lecture rooms, smaller seminars and workshops and in small groups, depending on the level and the topic. In addition, staff use the intranet to provide materials to support teaching and have regular drop in sessions for students. Most modules involve two hours a week timetabled teaching time. You'll be expected to contribute to small group sessions and to undertake independent study.

There are dedicated Psychology Labs for student projects as well as the research labs that you may use as part of your final year research project.

Course materials are posted to an online virtual learning environment to supplement face to face teaching and to support onsite and remote study.

How you are assessed

The aims of the module assessments are to provide a measure of the development and attainment of course outcomes, including the attainment of high-level intellectual skills such as critical analysis and evaluation.

Accordingly, the nature of the assessment varies across the three levels of the course. The assessments at levels one and two aim to focus on the acquisition and understanding of knowledge and skills. In contrast, the level three assessments place far greater emphasis on the ability to apply, analyse, and evaluate knowledge.

The way you're assessed may vary for each module. Examples of assessment methods that may be used include coursework, such as written assignments, research reports, research diaries, research or clinical proposals, or dissertations; practical exams, such as oral and poster presentations, performances or observations; and written exams, such as formal examinations, essay-based examinations, or in-class tests (including multiple-choice tests and short-answer questions).

International Study and Work Experience

You can choose to take a year out between year two and your final year of study. You'll be able to select one of the following options:

International Study

This option provides an opportunity to explore study in a new overseas culture and environment at one of the University's approved partner institutions. Choosing this option leads to (International Study) being added to your award title upon successful completion of the course. You can find out more on our Global Opportunities webpage.

Work Experience

This option offers the opportunity to enhance your personal and professional development by gaining experience in a real workplace setting, which could help develop the skills relevant to future employment or further study. Selecting this option leads to (Work Experience) being added to your award title upon successful completion of the course.

Both options aim to enhance your future employment opportunities and offer the chance to gain an understanding of the field in real-world settings. Please note, you will need to cover the costs associated with these year-long study options, including accommodation, travel expenses, and general living costs.

Extracurricular Activities

New students can join groups within the school including those that support LGBTQIA+, disability, BAME, mature students, commuters, and carers. Students can also join DigiPsych, our on-line magazine run for students by students in the School of Psychology. DigiPsych publishes anything that may be of interest to psychology students including reviews of psychological and non-psychological articles, stories, and opinion pieces.

Moreover, we have a weekly programme of guest lecturers invited from all over the world. Previous speakers for our special Lincoln International Seminars include Elizabeth Loftus. In addition to our work experience opportunities, many modules include employer presentations and activities. Students can also meet employers at our annual Psychology Works careers fair.  

Students are also encouraged to network with our alumni.  We have approximately 100 graduates from Psychology, representing a variety of professional roles, offering networking, and mentoring to current students.  

Research

Our School aims to produce critical thinkers and independent researchers who are able to tackle psychological problems and issues using a systematic, critical, and analytical approach. 

As part of this process, first year students undertake training in areas important to psychological research, such as using statistics software. In the second year, students may be able to utilise these skills by working alongside an academic supervisor to conduct an original research project. This culminates with students being able to undertake a substantial research study of their own for the dissertation component of their degree.

In addition to the taught components of research, students are encouraged to participate in the research culture of the School more broadly, with the opportunity to be involved as volunteers in research activities, such as our Summer Scientist programme, and to compete for paid studentships offered by the University of Lincoln and the British Psychological Society to conduct further research over the summer, typically in between the second and third year of the course.

We also have a number of active research groups within the school. These are conducting exciting research into areas such as mindfulness interventions in adults, the effect of dog-assisted interventions in school children, investigating the impact of calorie menu labelling on those with eating disorders, and neural entrainment of brain rhythms to aid sleep. You can read more on our Research webpage.

What Can I Do with a Psychology with Mental Health Degree?

This programme provides Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and as such, you will be well-placed to consider further professional training in psychology. Graduates of this degree may wish to consider working in range of fields that relate to mental health as well as progressing to postgraduate study, working in healthcare or other settings related to mental health e.g. charity organisations.  Students can also progress to develop further research expertise through conducting a MRes or PhD or use their transferable skills to contribute more widely outside of the area of mental health.

Lincoln is an extremely supportive and community driven university, with the interests and voice of its students at the heart of the Psychology department.
