Students based in Psychology

For students in the Psychology Department, your personal tutor in Psychology will be Dr. Olga Feher (O.Feher@warwick.ac.uk) who you can find in room H125 in the Humanities Building. Also you can find Jody Roche in H0.42 who is the Senior UG Programmes Office who will be your administrative support while you are studying at Warwick.

In the first week of term you will be invited to an Induction meeting where you will meet Olga and Jody who will be there to give you guidance on your time here.

Selecting Psychology modules (all visiting students wanting to do PS modules)

All visiting students need to get permission from module convenors before registering for modules, as depending on your prior knowledge, sometimes there may be extra reading that you will be recommended, or more challenging areas of the module to highlight.

Once you have confirmation from the module convener, please email J.Roche@warwick.ac.uk to indicate your modules to us. Your approved modules will be added on the University registration system.

All visiting students will be expected to undertake the in year assessments for the modules selected and will be set an end of term exam, held after the last week of teaching. These exams are usually essay based and will usually take place online after term finishes.

Module approval process
  1. Check with the module convener; Speak to the module convener and ensure they are happy for you to join it.
  2. Email your request to J.Roche@warwick.ac.uk Who will contact you if there is a problem with your request.
  3. For outside option Modules you need to follow the procedure above, but you must make sure that the option is available to visiting students and that you are able to complete all of the module components while you are her at Warwick.

Please consult timetables carefully to ensure that there are no clashes.
