Course overview
What makes people behave the way they do? How do we perceive and understand things – and what role does the unconscious mind play in our day-to-day lives. Choose our Applied Psychology MPsych, and you’ll explore a wide range of subjects surrounding mental processes and social behaviours.
This is an integrated Master’s degree; you’ll study this undergraduate British Psychological Society accredited course for three years, before completing a fourth year of Master’s level study. You can also apply, on a graduate basis, for Chartered Membership of the Society. Focusing on current, and sometimes controversial issues, as well as examining case studies, you’ll also get the chance to undertake hands-on project work to further enhance your CV.
While on campus, you’ll explore topics such as cognitive and developmental psychology and biopsychology and you’ll have the unique chance to use specialist equipment in the University’s own Psychology labs. We’re ranked 4th for Psychology in Yorkshire and the Humber in the Guardian League Tables 2026.
