Abstract
This chapter aims to:
• Assist students with understanding psychology as a science and inform them about the British Psychological Society, which is the representative body for students, graduates and chartered members.
• Prepare students for the type of content they should expect to receive across their degree course and how this links in with the core requirements of the British Psychological Society.
• Encourage thought and reflection around the study skills required at each level of study and the gradual shift to autonomous learning as students progress through their psychology degree
