Course Overview

Our Psychology MSc is ideal if you are a graduate of a subject other than psychology, or a psychology graduate whose undergraduate degree is not professionally recognised. You will gain a qualification in psychology that:

  • Confers eligibility for graduate membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS)
  • Establishes the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC).

You will develop a grounding in key theories, methods and the practice of psychology in the core areas of:

  • Development psychology
  • Cognitive psychology
  • Biological psychology 
  • Individual differences
  • Social psychology
  • Historical and conceptual issues
  • Psychological health and disorders
  • Research paradigms
  • Methods and measurement techniques
  • Statistical and qualitative analysis. 

The integration of theory, research and practice, apparent throughout the course, will enable you to put your knowledge into practice to conduct a piece of hands-on, independent research.
