Psychology is the scientific exploration of how the mind works and why people behave the way they do. Professional psychologists work in a huge variety of fields, using psychological theory, research methods and real-world evidence to delve into the human mind. It’s a complex and diverse field and studying for a master’s degree will enable you to build on your undergraduate knowledge, while developing a specialism which you can integrate with your career aspirations.
To get into an online master’s psychology course in the UK, you’ll need a relevant undergraduate degree and depending on the university, sometimes a period of relevant work experience is also required.
