Psychological Research Methods (Taught)

This course is designed to prepare graduates in psychology (or closely related disciplines) for any of the following:

• a PhD degree

• research or related careers in academic

• applied psychological disciplines

• careers in which data handling and analytical skills are of relevance.

Students also complete the course as a means of improving their research skills in preparation for further training as a professional psychologist (often as a clinical or educational psychologist). Both awards are equivalent, although the MSc has a larger taught component whilst the MRes places greater emphasis on the conduct of independent research. You may wish to apply to the MSc in Psychological Research Methods in the first instance and then you can make a choice of award later, in conjunction with the Course Leader and teaching team.
