Course summary
This MSc programme will encourage students to develop a greater awareness of the role that Psychology can play in understanding and tackling a range of real world issues.
Taught by research-active staff with expertise in applied health and social psychology, the programme will explore how we can understand cutting edge issues such as health promotion, mental health, behaviour change, prejudice, and intergroup conflict. The applied focus will encourage you to critically consider how we can intervene to improve individual, organisational and societal health and social functioning.
The programme is focused on developing a range of research and professional skills which can be applied to a broad range of specialisms within and beyond Psychology. It will also develop your ability to critically reflect on your own professional challenges and development needs for working in the field of applied psychology.
What you will learn
This course explores how psychology can be applied to a range of exciting and topical real-world issues, with specific course content reflecting current cutting edge issues. Part One of the MSc consists of taught modules, leading then to the Part Two independent research project for the Applied Research Dissertation, where students will engage in an in-depth research project with supervision from an academic staff member with expertise in that area.
The programme is focused on developing a range of research and professional skills which can be applied to a broad range of specialisms within and beyond Psychology. You will be challenged to become critical thinkers, developing the skillset and knowledge to be able to understand how to influence policy, work with community groups, and engage with individuals. A strong focus is on the development of a range of interpersonal and communication skills to enable you to confidently engage with professionals, colleagues and the general population in areas relating to the application of psychology to everyday life. You will be supported through the programme by a structured Personal Development Planning and mentoring process.
