Explore how integrating cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, neurobiology, and computer science can provide insights into how the human brain tackles complex challenges like object recognition, memory recall, language processing, and logical reasoning. Enhance your foundational knowledge by mastering both fundamental and advanced statistical methods and psychological research techniques. Investigate the intricate connections between neural processes and mental functions through studies of visual perception, learning mechanisms, linguistic abilities, and memory systems. This prepares you for PhD programs, academic research positions, or clinical roles such as NHS psychologist or assistant.
Our alumni frequently enter healthcare, education, or advanced academic pursuits. Many secure positions as NHS assistant psychologists, progressing toward careers as clinical or forensic specialists. Others continue to doctoral programs or academic positions at universities. Our Master's programs cultivate transferable skills in critical analysis, problem-solving, and research methodology applicable across diverse professional environments.

Qualification Requirements
A Bachelor's or Master's degree with:
a. Adequate level of academic achievement
A first or second class honours degree in a relevant subject or equivalent.
All applications are considered on an individual basis and additional qualifications, professional qualifications and relevant experience may also be taken into account when considering applications.
b. Statistics and research methods training in the social sciences
This programme includes a one-year statistics sequence which you must normally pass in order to receive your award. The teaching assumes that you are familiar with the following topics:
Means and standard deviations
Distributions, hypothesis testing and statistical significance
t-tests
Correlation coefficients
Variables and measurement
Therefore, your existing degree transcript should note that you have taken and passed a minimum of one term each in statistics and social science research methods courses (or two terms of a joint statistics and research methods course). A British Psychological Society-accredited degree will likely meet this requirement. Applicants with other degrees may be asked to provide additional evidence of training in statistics.
All applicants are considered on an individual basis and additional qualifications, professional qualifications and relevant experience may also be taken into account when considering applications.
IELTS Academic- 6.0 overall (with a minimum of 5.5 in each component)
TOEFL iBT- 85 overall (with a minimum of 18 in R, 17 in W&L, 20 in S)
