The MSc Psychology by Research adopts an active learning approach with a strong emphasis on real-world application, creating a practical and professional course for international students. The programme fosters interactive learning experiences through discussions, case studies, guest lectures, and collaborative projects, encouraging engagement between students and lecturers, as well as among peers.

The course is designed to be inclusive, promoting integration and collaboration among students from diverse backgrounds. By working together to explore psychological theories and tackle complex challenges, students develop a deeper understanding of human behaviour across cultures and contexts.

A key feature of the course is its strong emphasis on empirical research. Students will have the opportunity to undertake a research project that critically applies psychological theories to real-world issues. This not only enhances their knowledge and understanding but also strengthens their ability to think critically and analytically while developing valuable skills for a global career in psychology.
