Summary
Overview
Learn to think like a social psychologist in seeking to understand and solve modern life’s most practical and theoretical problems. From the proliferation of social media to more traditional human encounters, we each take part in hundreds of social interactions every day. But how do they impact the way we think, feel, and behave?
Our Social and Applied Psychology Master’s programme covers a range of the latest social and applied issues through the lens of psychology. You’ll get to grips with methodologies for social psychological research, including experimental design, measuring implicit and explicit attitudes, interviews and focus groups, experimental questionnaire design and field experiments.
You’ll also develop transferable skills in oral and written communication and analysis of complex data sets. The course builds to a substantial piece of Master’s research, which you’ll undertake with the supervision of active researchers.
You’ll also benefit from a tailored research placement, through which you can acquire and hone specific skills you need to further your research goals.
The course is ideal if you're a high-calibre graduate of psychology or a related discipline, looking to develop the specific methodological and analytical skills essential to social or applied psychological research. It's great preparation for a PhD in social or applied psychology, or a career with a significant research element, such as at a university, in the third sector, or within government. Take a look at the School of Psychology’s webpage to find a researcher who works on the topic that interests you. You may pursue a career as a researcher in social or applied psychology or work in government sectors, mental health and well-being services, education or as a behavioural technician and recreational therapist.
