The 4-year MSci Psychology is an advanced undergraduate degree, adding a further research-focused year to our well-established BSc Psychology degree. Leading to a master’s level qualification, this course is the ideal springboard for a research career in the field of Psychology.Studying Psychology will give you expert scientific training in the relationship between the mind, brain, and behaviour. Over the first three years, you will study the psychological and neuro-scientific processes that underpin activities such as thinking, reasoning, memory and language, learn about the effects of brain injury, and explore ways to improve health-related behaviour. In the final year, you will have access to a range of masters-level modules from across the School, allowing you to tailor your studies towards your interests or career aspirations. Our Psychology Research Skills in Practice module will also give you the option to complete a research internship at Level 7 (Master’s Level) to develop advanced research skills in line with your interests and taking advantage of research expertise at the School of Psychology. This could include primary data collection, meta-analyses, secondary data analysis on large datasets and research dissemination.Our School of Psychology has an outstanding reputation both in the UK and internationally. In the most recent research assessment, we were proud to maintain our research culture with a strong record of translating science into real-world consequences, with 100% of our impact rated as internationally excellent (REF2021).The course is validated by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and, providing you achieve at least a 2:2 in your degree, you will be eligible for Graduate Membership of the BPS and the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), the first step to becoming a Chartered Psychologist.
