MA (Hons) Psychology

Course Overview

Our Psychology MA is a new course designed to offer advanced study in psychology with an emphasis on both research excellence and critical writing skills. Following two semesters of academic study, students write a stand-alone literature review in an area of psychology that particularly appeals to them. This may be an idea or theory that the graduate is already developing, or maybe in an area that they become interested in during the course. An academic supervisor will help students to develop their ideas and hone their writing skills, providing support for the literature review. Students can choose to follow a general program or specialize by choosing particular options in semesters one and two.

Students wishing to can exit the program after achieving either a PG Certificate or PG Diploma if they don’t wish to undertake the full MA.
