Psychology is a broad and versatile field, which looks into the human mind and its functions and the behaviours which result. Studying this subject at postgraduate level allows you to build on your undergraduate knowledge, developing specialisms into areas which might form the basis for your future career. The distance learning format means you can complete an MA degree from anywhere in the world, since the course content, assignments and assessment are all conducted digitally.
Psychology is a popular postgraduate course in the UK and there are thirty distance learning options available. These are typically one year in duration, or two years if you wish to study part-time, perhaps to continue with your professional work while studying. Usually, you’ll need an upper second-class honours degree in psychology or a related field to gain entry on a course.
The distance learning formula means that you’ll manage your own workload online, while participating in virtual discussions with your academic tutors and peers and using the university’s virtual learning environment to access reading material, assignments and to get structured feedback. Modules can vary from course to course, however a lot of what you research will be of your own choosing.
You’ll work towards your final dissertation thesis, a long-form piece which you’ll build throughout the second half of the year which includes a significant amount of research and development. Once you’ve graduated, you may seek accreditation from professional bodies like the British Psychological Society (BPS) and prepare for a diversity of careers in psychology, education or applied behavioural research.
