This is a new course and we’re currently finalising the detailed information for this page. You can still see entry requirements and apply.

Overview

Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. By exploring psychology, we aim to understand why we think, feel, and act in certain ways. It seeks to understand why people think, feel, and act the way they do, and how we can support positive change to promote health, happiness, achievement and fulfilment.

It's a complex field that touches almost every aspect of life and needs to be approached from different perspectives.

You'll be introduced to key areas of psychology such as clinical and counselling psychology, educational psychology, and forensic psychology, and have the chance to explore fascinating case studies and theories behind them.

You won't need to have studied psychology before. So, wherever you see yourself driving change in the future, your journey begins here, with your MSc Psychology degree.
