This course is available on the BSc in Psychological and Behavioural Science. This course is not available as an outside option nor to General Course students. The number of apprenticeship places available will be governed by the research taking place in the department of Psychological and Behavioural Science in a given year. We will do our best to allocate places to all students that wish to take this course but we may have to limit numbers. Places will be allocated on an application basis.

The ?teaching? on this course will involve active training and participation in an ongoing lab. The specific activities will vary from one lab to another, but they will typically involve an introductory session, several lab meetings and training sessions. Students will spend the bulk of their time working on structured research tasks.
During the apprenticeship students will need to complete three pieces of formative work. This is designed to cement the training that the student will receive: 1. Make a presentation during a lab meeting of a key reading, discussing its implications for the lab's research2. Production of draft research materials and/or data analysis, demonstrating skills acquired in the lab.3. Production of a poster summarising the work of the lab.
Readings appropriate to the research topic of the labs will be provided by the lab leader at the start of the course.??Readings are specific to the labs offering this course, and will cover core readings on the theory, findings & research approaches pertinent to the lab in question.
Reflective learning report (50%) and research report (50%) in the MT. Reflective learning report (50%) in MT: Students will need to submit a 2000 word reflective learning report, assessing the experience of acting as a research assistant in the lab. This will ask the student to consider how and why they met (or did not meet) the specific learning outcomes of their apprenticeship. Research report (50%) in LT: Students will need to produce a 1500-2000 word report OR proposal related to the lab they were working on. The Report will outline the rationale, details and a critical analysis of a project worked on in the the Proposal will suggest an original project using the approach and methods of the lab.
