The MSc Psychology Research Methods program provides students with hands-on experience, fantastic teaching, and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) recognised PhD-level research teaching. Throughout the year, students will benefit from research led teaching delivered by world-leading academics.
Students will complete compulsory modules to develop skills and expertise. They will extend and enhance their ability to analyse and interpret psychology data. And they will gain a high-level of advanced psychological research skills. A solid foundation in these skills will be invaluable as they progress into research or into specialist psychology roles, such as clinical or forensic psychology.
Students will choose two optional modules to study. This will allow them to tailor the program to suit their interests and will ensure they have a detailed understanding of the discipline in specific areas of psychology. Within the degree program, Students will be taught vocational skills that they will need to obtain and sustain a career in psychology and other fields, such as CV writing, interview skills, team work and presentation skills.
At the core of this experience, students will undertake an independent research project, supervised by a member of the department's research-active staff. This dissertation will allow students to apply all that they have learnt to a dissertation topic of their choice. As well as developing conceptual understanding, research design, data-analysis, and communication skills, this project will be an exciting learning experience that will give students the opportunity to prove their skills, interests, and enthusiasm. What students achieve in the project will be important evidence of they skills and knowledge for prospective employers or postgraduate research student selection committees.
