Course summary

On this MSc, you’ll learn the scientific underpinnings of the discipline of psychology across a range of key areas, including social, developmental, cognitive and biological psychology. You’ll learn to critically evaluate psychological theory and research, as well as gain hands-on training in quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Teaching of research methods is embedded in most taught modules, to give you strong contextual understanding and the ability to apply methods into different contexts. You’ll learn a range of research skills and methods, to allow you to investigate behaviour and conduct psychological research as an integral part of applied psychology.

You will benefit from our world-class library, specialist research equipment (including EEG and an fMRI scanner) and state of the art teaching facilities.

How you'll learn

The learning, teaching and assessment structure of the programme is designed to give you multiple opportunities to practice and demonstrate skills through authentic assessment tasks, e.g. practical reports which simulate the skills required of professional psychologists and researchers.

The programme is structured to offer both full-time (studying for 1 calendar year) and part-time (across 2 or 3 years) options. Both are delivered through blended learning, utilizing face-to-face campus classes taught in the daytime, and structured online learning (which includes recorded classes, participating in forum discussions and practice tests). Part-time students have a break from campus attendance approximately every third week. A year-long research project is taken with the guidance of a specialist supervisor leading to the submission of the MSc Dissertation.
