Our psychology and counselling team have been directly involved in research, education, and policy work in areas relating to prejudice and discrimination.
This has included working with the Welsh Government, third-sector organisations, and other universities across the world on issues relating to prejudice and discrimination, asylum-seekers and refugees, and understanding societal intergroup harmony. The modules offered within this programme fits well with the expertise of staff within the discipline.
Distance learning - Mainly Online delivery, also with Saturday delivery on-campus (one session per module) which students can either join in-person or online.
What you will learn
The programme of study provides students with the knowledge and critical evaluation skills desired of postgraduates in many areas of society, most notably third-sector organisations, government, and civil service at a local, national, and international level. This programme will address a topic area widely recognised at local, national, and international levels, but in an evidence-based and research-informed way that goes beyond much of the current training provided in the UK.
Assessment Methods
The assessments within this programme have been specifically designed to enable you to demonstrate a range of skills and knowledge directly relevant to a broad range of psychological professions and beyond. These include:
Professional presentations
Portfolio of research competencies
Systematic literature reviews
Practical skills assessments
Reflective reports
Research proposals
Research papers (Part II dissertation).
Entry criteria is a 2.1 honours degree, or a good 2.2 honours degree (including research dissertation). Whilst we may consider applications from those with a background in a closely related area, due to the nature of this programme this would depend upon an assessment of academic writing and psychological research skills.
