This course is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in psychology, who do not have a first degree in the subject. It will give you the breadth of knowledge you need, while enabling you to explore your interests in greater depth.
In the School of Psychology, we are transforming lives and shaping the future with our teaching and research. Our work has real-world impact. For example, our research is contributing to better treatment of autistic people in the criminal justice system, and greater understanding of why drivers often fail to see motorcyclists at junctions.
One of our greatest strengths is the breadth of topics we specialise in. This is reflected in our research areas, which include:
MSc: 2:1 (or international equivalent) and a maths qualification equivalent to at least a grade 4 (C) at GCSE
PGDip: 2.2 (or international equivalent) with 60 credits of psychology and a maths qualification equivalent to at least a grade 4 (C) at GCSE
