About Master of Science by Research - Psychology

This programme offers students the opportunity to focus on conducting a research project in a specific area of psychology while still being able to take some taught courses (methodological or content-oriented). The programme is intended for those who already have a strong background in psychology and strong research skills, typically from undergraduate study.

The main part of the programme involves writing a dissertation in collaboration with a supervisor. It is recommended that candidates have a clear idea of their preferred research topic and have identified one or two possible supervisors before applying.
