General presentation of the programme
Principal Subjects
|
The bachelor's programme in Psychology
and the Sciences of Education involves a total of 180 credits, to be acquired over three
years. This comprises a foundation curriculum ( "major" ) of 150
credits and 30 credits of
options. The Faculty organises three
majors : in Psychology, in Education Science and
in Speech Therapy. A set of common courses totalling 105 credits
are to be followed during the first two years (for a total of 60 and 45
credits respectively). During the third year, the student has to choose
one
of the three majors matching the master program she/he intends to
attend. Each
major guarantees unconditional access to the matching master programme,
or to the master programme of Family
Science
and Sexuality, without complementary courses. Access to the other two
master's programmes remains possible, with
complementary courses and according to the chosen option.
|
The
set of common courses
comprises :
|
|
-
courses
relating to basic socio-cultural and philosophical behaviour (15
credits), as well to the
biological root-causes thereof (16.5 credits)
-
courses introducing the basic subject areas : Psychology and Education Sciences (19.5 credits)
-
23.5 credits of couses introducing the student to the
methods and practices of the basic subject areas, including
statistics and the ability to read scientific texts on psychology and
education written in English (5 credits)
-
three groups of courses
introducing the student to the principal domains of professional
practice : Psychology and Health (9 credits), Social Psychology in the
work place and within organisations (9 credits), Psychology, Education
and Development (8 credits).
|
|
The
major in Psychology Science
complements the courses on the methods and practices of the
basic subject areas (23.5 credits including in particular the
development of a personal project). It also deals more deeply with the
practical professional domains : besides three mandatory
courses (7.5 credits), the student will have to choose one course
module (for 9.5 credits) among three, each of which is specifically
devoted to one of the three
professional domains. This major also includes a course of Religion
Sciences (to be taken from a list of three such courses and
worth 2 credits) and a
course of interactive English.
|
The
major in Education Science
consists
of six courses common to the Psychology major (15 credits),
four specific courses (15 credits) and the personal
project offering participatory observation in professional practices
(15 credits).
|
The
major in Speech Therapy
,
organised together with the ULB, is composed of courses
relating to oral language (9.5 credits), written language (8 credits),
the ear, nose and throat sphere (8.5 credits), neurosciences (8
credits) and related subject areas (11 credits).

The student will complement his bachelor's programme with
an optional subject representing 30 credits - 15 credits in the second
year and 15 in the third year. This may take one of the following
forms, depending on the student's choice (see "programme specifications" for details).
