This course develops advanced research skills that will be valuable whether you aspire to be a chartered psychologist or intend to work in any sector that puts a premium on evidence-based decision-making, including health, Human Resources and general management. For those who would like to progress towards becoming a chartered psychologist, this course provides a rigorous preparation for the additional postgraduate research and professional training that are necessary for chartered status.

This course enables you to pursue your interests while also providing a stepping stone to well-paid roles. Most postgraduates earn more than undergraduates over their careers. At the end of this course you will be able to make a strong application for doctoral programmes that lead to chartered status as a psychologist. There are nine types of psychology in which it is possible to become chartered: clinical, educational, forensic, occupational, counselling, sport and exercise and health psychology, as well as neuropsychology and teaching/researching in psychology. Equally, the course prepares you for employment in a broad range of sectors. Expertise in research methodology is highly valued in management, advertising, marketing, Human Resources, the police force, the prison service, social care, health services and teaching.
