Master of Research - MRes
Summary
Our MRes Experimental Psychology with Data Science course will prepare you for a successful research career in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience and data science.
This course runs in parallel with our MRes Cognitive Neuroscience & Neuropsychology course, which has more of a clinical focus and may be better-suited to students with research aspirations in a clinical field.
During the MRes Experimental Psychology with Data Science course, you will undertake a year-long research project, supported by taught units for comprehensive research skills training.
The major advantage of this course is that you will put the acquired research skills into practice by working with experts in the field for the entire year.
Our supervisors have a wide range of expertise and we will ensure your research project is always tailored towards your research interest. View a list of project examples (PDF, 390KB).
Through the taught units, you will receive a strong grounding in the theoretical understanding and practical experience of key research paradigms, research designs and statistical techniques used in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and data science.
You will also develop transferable skills training for careers outside academia, including science communication, and patient, public and business engagement.
We have a long tradition of producing internationally renowned research and high-quality research training.
Our MRes course is endorsed by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and constitutes the first year of ESRC 1+3 postgraduate PhD studentships awarded through the ESRC Northwest Doctoral Training College for full-time, part-time and CASE students.
PhD with integrated master's
If you're planning to undertake a PhD after your master's, our Integrated PhD programme will enable you to combine your postgraduate taught course with a related PhD project in biology, medicine or health.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | We require an honours degree (minimum Upper Second) or overseas equivalent in psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Computer Science, Data Science or Statistics. A degree in which any of these topics form a major component may be acceptable. You do not need to provide a research proposal with your application. |
