The curriculum encompasses a range of specialisations, such as cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology and clinical psychology. These programmes balance theoretical study with practical application, including advanced research techniques and, in certain specialisations, clinical practice.
Psychology is a very popular academic pathway, and there are over six hundred master’s level postgraduate courses available at over 140 universities in the UK.
