Course summary
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 get in touch with Dr Suzanne Stewart 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. Chester’s School of Psychology offers a broad range of experience and expertise, covering both applied areas and fundamental psychological science.
Assessment method
Assessment in the taught modules is heavily coursework-based, for example, written work such as lab reports and portfolios, as well as other assessment formats such as presentations. The dissertation module is assessed mainly through a thesis, as well as through some smaller assessments associated with the research project work.
Entry requirements
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 School of Psychology’s research portfolio. A 2:2 honours degree will only be considered in combination with extensive relevant experience.
