MSc Psychology

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year, full-time

Course Description

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Psychologists seek to understand why we feel, think, and behave the way we do and how this understanding can help us to address many of the important issues society faces today.

This full-time campus-based Masters degree is suitable for those who have not studied psychology in their previous undergraduate degree (or little such as a minor subject or a standalone module) who would like to explore the fascinating world of psychology with a view to reorient their careers or enhance their understanding about how people perceive, think, interact and behave.

This postgraduate degree offers a broad range of modules that cover the key areas of psychology, including cognitive, social, developmental and biological psychology, plus research methods. We also cover aspects such as individual differences and the historical foundations of psychology. We also have a focus on applied psychology with a dedicated module designed to support you in your psychology career.

Student Destinations

Studying psychology, you will not only gain insight into human behaviour, but also develop and refine a range of highly sought-after transferable skills, like critical thinking, problem-solving, project management, communication skills, data handling and research, which will improve your employability regardless of the work you do.

In the UK alone, over 750,000 people work in an area that involves psychology as part of their role in sectors as diverse as social care, health, education, research, business, law enforcement and sports. Expectations are that the need for psychologists will continue to rise as we adjust to life post-Covid.
