For a psychology course to be accredited for the Society's Graduate Basis for Registration it must cover certain key areas of study, including Conceptual and Historical Issues in Psychology. This need not be taught as a separate area or module, it can instead be taught as a topic within other core subject areas.
We want to encourage the teaching of the history of psychology, or at least of conceptual and historical issues, in stand-alone modules. We are therefore happy to provide a listing here of such modules with links to the web pages of the higher education insitutions providing the courses.
If your institution is not listed here, please send us the details.
