Announcing New Programme for September - 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.

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.

Depending on the career pathway, graduates will be equipped with an understanding of individual, organisational, social and cultural influences on behaviour in organisational or health settings.

Evidence-based skills are developed in specific methodological, statistical, measurement and other empirical techniques required by academia, private and public industry. Applied Psychology careers include opportunities in Forensic, Industrial-Organisational, Sports, Human Factors and Health Psychology.

The MSc in Applied Psychology is offered;

Full -Time  - 1 Year

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