Applied Psychology - MPsyc

University of Huddersfield

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. Our staff rank in the top three in England for the proportion who hold doctorates, who have higher degrees, and hold teaching qualifications (HESA 2022), so you can be sure you’re learning from world-class researchers and teachers. As part of this Master’s level course, you’ll work in groups and individually to analyse issues, using advanced psychological techniques and knowledge. This gives you the chance to build your communication skills, assertiveness, and presentation techniques – all of which are useful in many careers, not just within the field of psychology.
