Our MRes Psychology course provides the opportunities and support needed to develop into a competent psychological researcher. This course is ideal for aspiring researchers and aspiring applied psychologists alike.
If you are interested in applying, please submit an enquiry to discuss your intended research.
On our MRes Psychology course, over 75% of your time will be dedicated to conducting your own research project, with expert supervision. The remaining time is spent learning how to design a study, collect and analyse data, and write up and disseminate your findings.
The key to any MRes course is the availability of supervision with expertise relevant to your research question. We offer a broad range of experience and expertise, covering both applied areas and fundamental psychological science.
Honours Degree
Possession of a 2:1 honours degree in any area of Psychology or social science relevant to the proposed area of study, together with a demonstration by the applicant at interview that they are prepared for study at MRes level, is required. The proposed area of study must fit with the Division of Psychology’s research portfolio, and applicants are required to submit a detailed research proposal as part of the application materials. A 2:2 honours degree will only be considered in combination with extensive relevant experience.
By completing an MRes, you will have the opportunity to develop skills and experience in research, analysis and evaluation, which will serve as great preparation for a career in research in Psychology and cognate disciplines, either in an academic setting or in the commercial or public sector. These skills are also transferrable to non-research orientated roles within project management, marketing and consultancy services, or to healthcare settings.
