Course content

Gain a thorough grounding in theoretical perspectives, along with state-of-the-art research techniques.

Study applied psychology in an intellectually stimulating and supportive environment. You'll learn from faculty in Social and Applied Psychology - one of the largest groups of social and applied social psychologists in the country, and one of the UK’s leading research groups.

We have expertise in the areas of:

  • consumer beliefs and behaviour
  • intergroup relations and crowd dynamics
  • issues related to health and illness
  • psychological interventions.

You’ll develop the skills to undertake postgraduate research in psychology, or to embark on policy-related work or a wide variety of careers involving research. This Masters is recognised as a pathway to doctoral study by the ESRC-funded South East Network for Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership.
