Psychology in education

Thinking of applying to psychology in education at university of Birmingham. I really like the university, but i can’t do simply psychology so I’m thinking to do psychology in education as there’s a cross over in modules which is why i like it. But will this affect anything else. Is anyone currently doing this subject at UoB is there broad psychological discussions or is it simply based on education?

Birmingham's Psychology in Education degree is accredited by the British Psychology Society (BPS), meaning that it has all the same core content as Psychology degree, and allows you to access postgraduate courses in Psychology (if you want a career as a practicing Psychologist).
There are three main differences from what I can see:
1. You have a little less flexibility in terms of modules, as you're required to take some with an educational focus.
2. There's a (short) mandatory placement in an educational setting.
3. It's run out of the the School of Education, so you're more likely to be rubbing shoulders with those studying Education than those studying Psychology when attending events organised by the school.

Hi thankyou so much! Would it allow me to pursue being a clinical psychologist if i ever wanted to, or does it limit me to educational psychologist

It does not limit you no, as it's BPS registered. That's what I meant by "...and allows you to access postgraduate courses in Psychology (if you want a career as a practicing Psychologist)."
As I'm sure you're aware, to practice as a Clinical Psychologist you need to have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. One of the entry requirements for such a doctorate is that your undergraduate degree is BPS registered. Which this one is.

Okay thankyou soo much! That makes sense.
