Cyberpsychology by Research at The University of Buckingham at Main

This postgraduate research degree is offered by the Cyber and Interpersonal Behaviour Research (CIBR) hub at the University of Buckingham. The main focus of this research hub is the exploration of human behaviour, emotions and experiences in relation to technology and the impact of technology on individuals both online and offline. The University of Buckingham is engaged in a number of external collaborative projects with colleagues at other universities, organisations and schools. Key topic areas we explore include:

  • Cyberbullying, cyber aggression and other online risks
  • Parental and school mediation strategies in relation to online safety
  • Motivations and social effects of gaming
  • Media consumption and influence on attitudes and beliefs
  • Individual differences in online expression and self-presentation
  • Bystander behaviour, prosocial behaviour and social identities
  • Social media: motivations and its effect on people’s attitudes and well-being.

This programme leads to the award of an MSc (Research) in the area of Cyberpsychology. In addition to completing a 25,000 word thesis within a topic area relevant to Cyberpsychology, students will gain wide knowledge of the broader field through guided self-study topic areas and research skills workshops. This will mean that they develop an in-depth knowledge of the area, which is informed by current issues and advanced research.

As a result of their studies, students will develop a strong knowledge base and core transferable skills which will enable them to become an independent researcher in their field, and will provide them with a solid foundation for further study and/or employment.
