Our Master's program in Psychological Research Methods offers comprehensive training to help you build versatile skills for independent research and other career paths. This program is tailored for Psychology graduates and those from related fields, preparing them for: doctoral studies, research-focused roles in academic or applied psychology, or careers requiring strong data analysis capabilities. You may also pursue this course to enhance your research abilities before entering professional psychology training (such as clinical or educational psychology). While both degree options are equivalent, the MSc features more structured coursework, whereas the MRes prioritizes independent research projects. Applicants typically start with the MSc in Psychological Research Methods and later decide on their preferred qualification in consultation with faculty.
The MSc program focuses on developing diverse research methodologies through structured learning, ideal for students seeking broad research competencies.
The MRes program emphasizes self-directed study, making it perfect for students already involved in psychological research who want to specialize in a specific area.
