Course Description
What makes people behave the way they do? How do we perceive and understand things – and what role does the unconscious mind play in our day-to-day lives.
Choose our Applied Psychology MPsych, and you’ll explore a wide range of subjects surrounding mental processes and social behaviours.
This is an integrated Master’s degree; you’ll study this undergraduate British Psychological Society-accredited course for three years, before completing a fourth year of Master’s-level study.
Focusing on current – and sometimes, controversial – issues, as well as examining case studies, you’ll also get the chance to undertake hands-on project work to further enhance your CV.
On campus, you’ll explore topics such as cognitive and developmental psychology, and biopsychology. You’ll have the unique chance to use specialist equipment in the University’s own psychology labs.
Why Study Applied Psychology MPsych at University of Huddersfield?
Our staff rank in the top three in England for the proportion who hold doctorates, who have higher degrees, and hold teaching qualifications (HESA 2022), so you can be sure you’re learning from world-class researchers and teachers.
As part of this Master’s level course, you’ll work in groups and individually to analyse issues using advanced psychological techniques and knowledge. This gives you the chance to build your communication skills, assertiveness, and presentation techniques – all of which are useful in many careers, not just within the field of psychology.
Some of our final-year optional modules are partly taught by professional clinical and forensic psychologists, which gives you the added benefit of learning directly from those in professional practice.
You’ll also learn to generate professional-level reports. These will form part of a portfolio, which can be used to demonstrate the advanced skills and knowledge gleaned during this Psychology degree.
Enhance your studies, by using specialist equipment via our psychology labs. Gain first-hand experience conducting your own experiments and research, and use electroencephalogram (EEG) machines, biopacs, an eye movement tracker, and more.
