Study Details: MSc Full Time: September start (24 months); January start (32 months).
Our MSc Applied Psychology covers the same modules as our MSc Psychology with the additional benefit of including an Applied Practice module where you complete an internship to gain additional practical experience
The course enables graduates from disciplines other than psychology to develop subject-specific knowledge, practical and professional skills and general transferable cognitive, intellectual and academic skills.
You gain a deep understanding of the scope of the discipline through active learning experiences to consider how psychological concepts can be applied in practice. Research training prepares you to undertake your own research, under supervision, in the field of psychology and for professional development as academic or practitioner psychologist.
The work experience module (Applied Practice) enables you to gain real-world practical experience in a professional setting to enhance your employability and underpin your academic learning. With support from the University’s careers advisers and work experience team you will apply either for external internship opportunities or a significant work-related project within the University or work alongside practising researchers. You are interviewed as part of the process and will be assigned a work-based mentor in addition to an academic supervisor.
