It has been suggested to me - in the context of curriculum refresh - that psych undergraduate students just don't want to learn coding or stats. I don't think it's an accident that the people saying these things are older men, and the students are mostly women.

Fair, but even though their precise knowledge is inaccurate they do have a correct understanding that the quant skill requirements in psych are << those in physics, maths.

My point was in the UK they have already done teaching coding to all years of undergrad — just like they go from t-test to linear regression and more over the 3 years in stats.
-
Basically my point boils down to: in the UK the tide has turned and we teach undergrads to code "against their will" just like we teach them research methods/stats "against their will".

That is weird - many have done A level psychology which has a statistics element (standard NHST) ...

Not those I interact with. Mostly international students, Birkbeck students (UGs without A levels often), MSc students, etc. Is Psychology A level actually a requirement for your UGs?
