The library Recommends 

If you wish to have an extra introductory reading* in the Psychology subject, the following resources can help you to have an overview of the subject. 

 

 

*Please, note that those resources ARE NOT mandatory reading for exams or essays unless your lecturer requests it during a lecture or on the official reading list (available in the course paper guide and online reading list). This is just an extra introductory reading for those seeking it.

 

Online Reading List (Psychology Undergraduates) 

 

 

The Reading Lists Online contains recommended resources from your course Papers Guide, linking the bibliographic record to the electronic resource or library catalogue lists. The list also includes scanned chapters, but please note that in order to comply with CLA when downloading the scanned PDF, you must login via Moddle course in order to authenticate your access. 

Some lectures will recommend reading on the lecture day, please note that any extra reading recommended in class may not be listed in the platform Reading List Online. Check with your lecturer.
