This course is designed to prepare graduates in psychology (or closely related disciplines) for any of the following:

  • a PhD degree

  • research or related careers in academic

  • applied psychological disciplines

    Students also complete the course as a means of improving their research skills in preparation for further training as a professional psychologist (often as a clinical or educational psychologist). Both awards are equivalent, although the MSc has a larger taught component whilst the MRes places greater emphasis on the conduct of independent research.
