Study Details: MSc: 1 year full-time, 2 years part-time
This programme provides an opportunity for intensive advanced training in psychological research, while giving you flexibility to select courses in the areas of psychology and cognitive neuroscience of most interest to you. In addition to advanced training in general academic skills and statistical modelling, you will gain training in a variety of specific methodologies including, but not limited to brain imaging, neurodisruption, eyetracking, clinical case analysis, psychometric modelling, and discourse analysis.
Building on the research methods training, you will take topical courses in one of the core research areas of our department: social psychology, cognitive neuropsychology, individual differences, psychology of language, and human development.
Your MSc culminates in a research dissertation in a core research area: an original, publication-quality piece of research, undertaken in close collaboration with researchers in the relevant group.
A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in psychology or a related discipline.
We may also consider candidates with a UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in a non-psychology subject if they can demonstrate evidence of their aptitude for research or research methods.
