Philosophy and psychology modules at Oxford

I am y13 applying to study philosophy and psychology (PPL) at Oxford in 2025 at Brasenose college. I was just wondering if anyone had any clear information on what course modules are offered/which ones you can take when, as all the information I have been able to find on the Oxford website is either incomplete or outdated. This is for the Msci course (although I believe that is the main/only one that is offered for psychology degrees now anyways - if anyone has any information on that also that would be appreciated).

Thanks!

hello, i think the website's info is actually not too bad at least for the compulsory courses.
First years take 3 papers, intro to stats (coding), intro to psych and intro to phil
In second year you can choose 3 psychology modules among cognition, behavioural neuroscience, perception, social, clinical and developmental
second-third year philosophy are all electives, you can search up the lecture/course list on the phil faculty website
third year psych are also electives. I don't think you can find the full list online but I think you can get a brief idea by browsing the research groups on the experimental psychology department website
