A Broad Look At Psychology - For DE200 OU Psychology Students

This event is aimed at all undergraduate students with an interest in psychology, and will be of particular benefit to those beginning the DE200 module with the Open University in the 2026/2027 academic year. Whether you're starting in October, or waiting until February - this event is for YOU.
This weekend has been set up by OUPS to help students broaden their knowledge of psychology and, where applicable, prepare for the module. It will present a foundation for your studies by providing you with an overview of the important aspects of psychology and giving you a framework for studying DE200. This event introduces the core areas and methods used within psychology, and our inspiring tutors will be available to offer advice to students throughout the weekend.
The lectures are conducted in management conference seminar rooms within the University campus, and you will be provided with a timetable of talks and abstracts before you arrive. Registration is from 3pm on Friday, dinner from 6pm and the Friday evening lecture at 8pm. The conference finishes at 3pm on Sunday.
You can choose how you spend your time. If you book the residential package then you will have a very comfortable ensuite room in management conference facilities complete with bedding, towels, a hairdryer, coffee-making facilities and desk. Wifi is also included. The training centre has a small exercise room within the building and you also have complimentary access to the gym and pool on campus, so if you do want to relax then there is the option to do so.
The cost is inclusive of all meals, including Friday night and Saturday night dinner. There are no extra costs involved (except for drinks at the bar!). As well as your room and all meals this includes refreshments at break times, handouts which are only available to attendees, welcome drink on Friday night. Non-residential places are also available, please contact us for details if you would like this option.
The welcome drinks and psychology book stall are both excellent places to meet other students. All students and staff wear name badges, so it is easy to find somebody to help if you have any questions. You can enjoy your meals with a group of delegates in the comfortable dining room. The food is fresh, healthy buffet style catering, and there is something to entice everyone.
Finally, whilst most students leave exhausted from the learning and socialising, they comment that it is such a worthwhile weekend, and we see many of them each year as they progress their studies and also after graduating!
