Course Summary

The School of Psychological Sciences & Health, in collaboration with the globally renowned Strathclyde Business School is offering a unique new Masters programme.

The distinctive nature of the programme lies in its flexible online mode of delivery.

It also provides opportunities to develop specialist knowledge in modules provided for the programme in Psychology for Business.

Assessment

Assessment will be through a mixture of course work, for example, individual essays or reports, a collaborative writing task with other students, or in some cases an online quiz or a verbal presentation. Additionally, some modules will feature class exams. Supporting student learning is a priority and you'll be carefully guided through each assessment activity, with continuous feedback on your progress.

Modules

In the area of social psychology, students will be introduced to the study of both within and between group behaviour, with topics including attitudes, prejudice, obedience, conformity, and social identity. The developmental strand will both describe and explain the major changes in cognitive development across the lifespan in healthy and atypical populations and describe the main theoretical and empirical work in social and moral development.
