We will cover brain-behaviour relations, social psychology, clinical psychology and research methods. * [Advanced Principles of Psychology 2](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=PN2002): pN2001 and PN2002 builds upon PN1001/PN1002, preparing students for Honours psychology modules. We will cover cognition, perception, comparative psychology and research methods. * [Advanced Principles of Psychology 1](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=PN2001): pN2001 and PN2002 builds upon PN1001/PN1002, preparing students for Honours psychology modules. We will cover brain-behaviour relations, social psychology, clinical psychology and research methods. * [Advanced Principles of Psychology 2](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=PN2002): pN2001 and PN2002 builds upon PN1001/PN1002, preparing students for Honours psychology modules. We will cover cognition, perception, comparative psychology and research methods. You will also choose two additional biology modules from the following selection: * [Animal Behaviour](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2312): covers the four ways in which we explain behaviour in a range of animals, including examples from all major taxa and from all habitats. * [Biochemistry](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2306): a number of central metabolic pathways and their control are studied in detail, alongside examples of their importance in disease and recent metabolomic studies. * [Cell Systems](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2305): explores how cells interact with one another to form complex tissues and organisms. * [Ecology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2307): introduces essential concepts in population and community ecology and how they relate to biodiversity. * [Evolutionary Biology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2303): gives an overview of the history and major principles of modern evolutionary biology. * [Invertebrate Zoology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2304): surveys the major invertebrate groups, emphasising the diversity of body plans while demonstrating how the common functional requirements such as feeding, reproduction, respiration and excretion are achieved. * [Vertebrate Zoology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2308): explores the diversity of vertebrate animals, providing a detailed look at the defining characteristics of the body plans and lifestyles of the key vertebrate group * [Molecular Biology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2302): provides an introduction to modern molecular biology, covering fundamental biological processes such as transcription, translation, and DNA replication and repair. * [Research Methods in Biology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2300): this module develops essential academic and transferable skills, with major emphasis on quantitative skills and problem solving. This is achieved through a combination of interactive lectures, independent data-handling workshops and group work on a mini research project. * [Invertebrate Zoology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2304): surveys the major invertebrate groups, emphasising the diversity of body plans while demonstrating how the common functional requirements such as feeding, reproduction, respiration and excretion are achieved. * [Vertebrate Zoology](https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/subjects/modules/catalogue/?meta_modulecode=BL2308): explores the diversity of vertebrate animals, providing a detailed look at the defining characteristics of the body plans and lifestyles of the key vertebrate group * #### Honours If you decide to take Neuroscience in your third and fourth years, you choose from a wide variety of advanced options. In third year, you will take three compulsory modules in advanced principles of neuroscience, neuropharmacology and data handling. Over the course of your Honours studies, you will have the option of studying a wide range of modules ranging from clinical and developmental psychology to molecular and cellular neuroscience, with further options in the School of Biology. Here is a sample of Senior Honours modules which have been offered in previous years: * Animal Models in Neuroscience and Psychology * Behavioural Neuroscience * Clinical Neuropsychology * Mechanisms of Behaviour: Integrating Psychological and Neuroscience Perspectives * Neuroethology * Research Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience * Synaptic Transmission in Health and Disease In fourth year, students can conduct a research project which will involve extensive laboratory or field research to investigate a problem broadly within neuroscience or psychology. The project will culminate in the production of a high-quality report that demonstrates a deep understanding of the chosen area of research.
