About Postgraduate Educational Psychology

Educational psychology is a fascinating niche of the psychological field that focuses on the process of learning in the human mind. To do so, it examines everything from cognitive to social, cultural and behavioural influences on learning and education—across a variety of settings and age ranges.

Postgraduate students will develop advanced knowledge of relevant psychological theories and study methods, carrying out applied work on developing new teaching methods and educational models based on their findings.

There are over 20 different postgraduate programmes in educational psychology to choose from in the UK. These qualifications may combine elements of educational psychology, educational neuroscience and developmental psychology.

What to expect

Postgraduate students will develop advanced knowledge of relevant psychological theories and study methods and carry out applied work to develop new teaching methods and educational models based on their findings. Courses take from one to three years to complete and usually involve a practical fieldwork placement.

The main employer for educational psychologists tends to be local authority children's services or local authority educational psychology service if you’re based in Scotland. Other employers include the NHS, private schools and nurseries and charitable organisations such as the National Autistic Society.
