Our Psychology MRes is your opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and techniques needed for success in the fields of psychology, academia and beyond.

Join a course where you can develop your psychology or cognate knowledge and skills for studying Psychology at an advanced level. The course involves the necessary training, skills, and experience to enable you to evaluate and produce original research. You may want to continue onto a PhD and a research career, or develop research skills to contribute to professional development.

Your learning will have a strong focus on rigorous research practices and careful consideration of the key dilemmas researchers face when planning and conducting high-quality research. This includes topics such as:

  • Understanding varied epistemological approaches
  • Sound research design
  • Open science practices
  • Ethical issues and processes

It will be necessary for you to conduct your own original research. Support and guidance will be provided by academic research supervisors with subject and methodological expertise that spans different areas of psychology (e.g. cognitive, developmental, social). You will be required to engage with psychology research groups, the Research Seminar series and will have access to university research events.

Working as part of a research community with associated research groups ensures increased opportunities for your professional development. On this course, our ambition is for you to develop your thesis into a published article.
