A year-long research project is taken with the guidance of a specialist supervisor leading to the submission of the MSc Dissertation. Skills You will learn:
  • The scientific underpinnings of the discipline of psychology across a range of key areas, including social, developmental, cognitive and biological psychology.
  • A range of research skills and methods, to allow you to investigate behaviour and conduct psychological research as an integral part of applied psychology.
  • Effective communication
  • Reflective and critical thinking
  • Creativity
