For these decisions to be useful, they need to be based on sound statistical principles. Thus, there is a need to be aware of proper sampling techniques, the idea of probability and the fact that any decision made with incomplete information is prone to involve error. The unit covering business statistics will introduce a variety of statistical techniques to show under which circumstances each should be used.

The unit aims to equip students with an understanding of contemporary practice and demands in visual communication and media. Furthermore, the unit enables students to harness evolving technology in the communication of visual messages. Through such 21st century channels as social media, contemporary film and television, and community broadcasting, these messages can be developed for the ultimate benefit of society.Students will be introduced the following principles of visual communication: story-telling and scriptwriting; genres, conventions and technical skills of film making; and an understanding of the film-making process from pre-production through to post-production. Through the inculcation of these skills, students will be equipped to present a portfolio demonstrating their industry-readiness. This unit will utilise smartphone technology with a constant emphasis on communication through social media. It is not, therefore, intended as an advanced course in film-making technique but rather a preliminary initiative in visual outreach using readily available technologies within an ethical framework.

Contemporary Smartphone Video Production

Media in the 21st century is dominated by a convergence of modes and the emergence of social platforms that are blurring public/private, work/social life boundaries. In this unit, students will analyse the application of new media in a variety of contexts, including contemporary social and business users. They will also engage their creativity by composing instances of social and new media across a range of platforms and devices in order to entertain or to meet the objectives of organisations. Ethical issues surrounding new media are also introduced and students asked to critically assess the ethics of the choices they make when constructing social and new media content.

UNIT OUTLINE This module serves as a foundation for

counselling work as it traces the history and development of psychology and the application of psychology today. Foundational Psychology aims to introduce students to four essential components in the understanding its application to counselling.This first component is to promote understanding of the different schools of psychology and how they came about. Understanding the context is necessary so that students appreciate the issues of that time and the views on how humans develop and to ascertain the relevance of these theories to the context today. It is important for students to appreciate how the dynamics of the environment and genetics influence human development. The second component is to introduce students to the various methodologies used to collect data and measure the effectiveness of psychological interventions. For a field that studies human emotion and cognitive processing, it is necessary to be able to measure the change and to assess the credibility of the methodologies. The third component is to introduce students the elements that influences both individual and group behaviours. As future psychologists, this is necessary to help clients understand their triggers and how manage their responses in various settings like school, work or family gatherings.The fourth component is to promote understanding of emotional health and well-being through discussion of stressors and how stress, environment and genetics create psychological disorders. As future psychologists, students need to be aware of the challenges faced by people of all ages and how psychological disorders have evolved over the years.

The aim of this module is to develop students understanding of quantitative research methodologies and report writing within psychology, and to build transferable skills. The development of these skills will be useful to the student not only in planning, conducting and reporting laboratory work in this module, but throughout their educational and working life. These sessions will facilitate consenting students’ engagement in research as both “participants” and “experimenters” in small research studies. In addition they will engage in discussion regarding quantitative methodologies and experimental design, research ethics, and the communication of research findings to the academic community and beyond. Students will consolidate their knowledge, and gain supervised practical experience of conducting quantitative research leading to the completion of a study designed by themselves at the end of the semester. Students will learn to conduct research in a number of core areas of psychology using quantitative methodologies, and with due regard to the professional issues associated with the discipline.

Quantitative Psychological Laboratory Experience and Skills

The Counselling Skills module serves as a realistic job preview for students who are considering a career in the helping professions, such as counselling, psychology, social work or allied fields. This module builds on learning from earlier modules and integrates this to demonstrate application of counselling skills in varied client scenarios.Counselling Skills aims to introduce students to three essential components in the development of an effective counsellor. The first component is the importance of being aware of the scope of a helping relationship and the working alliance between the client and a counsellor. The second component is to introduce students to the Egan’s Skilled Helper framework. This framework provides a guideline that helps counsellors to structure their counselling sessions in both form and content. The third component is to introduce students to the importance of a counsellor’s self-awareness.

Counselling Skills

The aim of the module is to introduce students to empirical work in psychology and to help them develop a range of skills that will be useful to them in planning, conducting, and reporting laboratory work and in deriving maximum benefit from their experiences on the degree (and beyond). The module is delivered as a series of practical sessions (in which consenting students may take part in small-scale empirical research studies, both as “participants” and as “researchers”), and skills-based workshops (in which students will develop a range of professional and transferable skills). The practical sessions will provide students with opportunities to practice the skills in a structured setting, though students will also be able to use and benefit from the skills in later studies. Students will learn to conduct research in a number of core areas of psychology using qualitative methodologies, and with due regard to the professional issues associated with the discipline.

Qualitative Psychological Laboratory Experience and Skills

This module will introduce students to mental health and mental illness. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) is the most well know approach to classification of mental disorders. This manual will form the basis of the module. Students will be introduced to mental disorders in every session. A lecture will introduce the diagnostic criteria and basic aetiology and treatment protocol for each disorder. Workshop sessions will give students the opportunity to explore how theory may relate to practice. The module will result in a broad debate around notions of mental illness and ‘abnormal’ psychology. The module serves as a useful foundation for the understanding of ‘Abnormal Psychology’ in particular. On completion of the module students be able to demonstrate conceptual knowledge of theories of mental illnesses and the treatment of illnesses included in the DSM. They will also be able to demonstrate knowledge of the symptoms, epidemiology, aetiology and treatment of the disorders introduced in the lectures.

Introduction to Mental Health

The module aims to provide a foundation in psychological research methods and analysis. The SPSS package for Windows will be introduced and used for purposes of statistical analysis and graph drawing techniques. By the end of this module students should be able to identify the appropriate method needed to tackle a range of research questions, analyse the resulting data and draw appropriate conclusions. The module is taught by lectures and workshops.

Students involved in volunteer opportunities and/or athletic competition learn about teamwork and dedication to a task, while ideas such as understanding diversity, cultural differences and valuing individuality are valued elements of our campus life.Being involved on campus enables students to have active lives outside of the classroom. Studying is hard work but YOU will need time to relax and enjoy the social side of campus life - and that is where Kaplan Campus Life comes in!
