Psychology MSc

Teesside University

Our MSc Psychology is designed to enable graduates from disciplines other than psychology to develop subject-specific knowledge and the practical and professional skills related to the discipline as well as further developing your general transferable cognitive, intellectual and academic skills. This course provides you with a deep understanding of the scope of the discipline through active learning experiences to consider how psychological concepts can be applied in practice. Research training will also be provided which will allow you to undertake your own research under supervision in the field of psychology and prepare you for professional development as academic or practitioner psychologists. For full-time study you cover seven modules (180 Level 7 credits) across a calendar year starting in September or across 18 months for January start. The full-time programme involves 60 credits for each semester plus the Psychology Project module which takes place across the whole year. For part-time study (September start only) the programme runs over two calendar years. You complete four modules in the first year and the remaining three modules in your second year, including the Psychology Project.
