The programme is the first of its kind at the University of London, offering a scientific approach to the study of human behaviour. You will develop a broad understanding of psychological theory and research, and the processes influencing how people think, feel, behave, and interact.
- The MSc is particularly well suited to those interested in a career change into the field of psychology, or who have previously studied some psychology (but where the previous qualification does not meet the British Psychological Society criteria for Graduate Basis for Chartership).
- The programme covers all the core areas of psychology, namely cognitive psychology, biological psychology, individual differences and personality, social psychology and developmental psychology, as well as thorough training in research methods.
- You will also be able to choose from a vibrant range of specialist postgraduate option modules, enabling you to get a flavour of niche areas of psychology.
- You'll get to work alongside academics who are experts in their fields. You may also have the opportunity to get involved in world-class research taking place in the department, specifically in your MSc research dissertation. Faculty members sometimes run their own research labs, which could give you the opportunity to develop your understanding of a broader range of psychological issues alongside your formal education.
