Calling All Psychology Graduates!

 

 

 
MSc in Applied Psychology
The MSc in Applied Psychology will provide learners with an insight into the field of applied psychology, thus developing the competencies and skills required to relate theory to practical applications. The learner will explore various theories of psychology that will enable them to understand human behaviour from individual, social and biological perspectives. 

The programme is comprised of both core modules and elective modules. Elective modules form two distinct career pathways in the areas of organisational psychology and health psychology.
Learners will analyse and evaluate the support for competing theories, as well as the studies and projects that apply these psychological concepts, theories and processes.  From this and their exposure to advanced research methods and professional skills, learners will understand the theoretical, methodological and ethical considerations in designing and assessing interventions, evidencing these skills in an applied research project.

Central to this programme are the areas of analysis, intervention, application, evaluation and research. There is a strong focus on ethics, professional skills and personal development.
 
Upon completion of the programme learners will be able to competently investigate contemporary local and global issues using an applied psychological perspective and design solutions to match. 

Graduates will be able to think critically, appraise and problem solve. The programme encourages initiative and originality in research and learners will make a significant contribution to their knowledge of psychology and will be competent to carry out both basic and applied psychological research.

Holders of the MSc in Applied Psychology will be open to careers in areas such as research and evaluation posts, teaching/lecturing and human resource management, as well as market research, social policy advocates, administrative positions, health care settings and training and development specialists. The programme may also appeal to those learners keen to pursue further post graduate studies in the field of psychology.

The MSc in Applied Psychology is offered;

Full -Time  - 1 Year

Part -Time  - 2 Years (two evenings per week)
