MSc Applied Psychology

The MSc Applied Psychology programme is for students who desire to become psychologists, and it is for other professionals who want to learn more about the field. The programme will give them a good foundation in the main areas of psychology, and they will look at how psychology is used in the media, international politics, research, and new technologies.

Students will experiment through practical workshops, case analysis, role-playing, and simulations. They will be taught through lectures, seminars, tutorials, and presentations, and will be assessed using presentations, case formulations, case studies, essays, and written reflections. The programme offers students a work placement year.
