Accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), this online programme is one of seven UHI postgraduate courses to achieve a 100% overall student satisfaction score in the 2025 PTES. It offers a broad and critical exploration of psychological theory and practice. You’ll deepen your understanding of what drives human behaviour, what makes us unique, and the ways in which we are similar—while examining key theories and their relevance today.
On successful completion of the full MSc, you will be eligible to apply to the BPS for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, opening the door to further postgraduate training in chartered psychology fields.
The course is delivered primarily online, with a mandatory one-day online induction approximately one week before Semester 1 begins, and a 3–4 day face-to-face residential in Inverness in March.
