ABOUT
Introduction:
Our Psychological Research Methods Masters degree provides extensive training if you are looking to develop a broad range of transferable skills relevant to independent research and beyond. The course has been designed specifically to prepare graduates in Psychology or related disciplines for:
- a PhD degree
- research related careers in academic or applied psychological disciplines
- careers in which data handling and analytical skills are of relevance.
You might also complete the course as a means of improving your research skills in preparation for further training as a professional psychologist (often as a clinical or educational psychologist).
Both awards are equivalent, although the MSc has a larger taught component whilst the MRes places greater emphasis on the conduct of independent research. You may wish to apply to the MSc in Psychological Research Methods in the first instance and then you can make a choice of award later, in conjunction with the Course Leader and teaching team.

Choosing your route
The MSc emphasises a taught focus across a range of methods and will be suitable for students keen to develop a broad profile of independent research skills.
The MRes places a greater emphasis on independent study and is suitable for students who are already engaged in psychological research and wish to focus on a particular area.
The innovative course structure means you don’t need to decide which award you want to focus on until the end of Term One.
Careers and employability
Upon graduation, you’ll possess the methodological and practical knowledge required to realise your potential as an independent researcher in various fields of Psychology or in closely related disciplines.
Many of our graduates have gone on to pursue an academic and / or research career in various areas of psychology (by working as a research assistant or associate, for example, or by studying for a PhD). You may choose to use your research methods qualification as a stepping stone to undertaking further training as a professional psychologist (for example, in forensic, clinical, and educational psychology) or to secure careers in data handling and analysis outside psychology (for example, in industry or the civil service).
The skills gained are transferable across a wide range of careers.Your qualification is likely to be popular with many employers because you’ll have demonstrated an ability to write essays and reports, to master advanced methods of data analysis and to talk and present in front of other people.
Previous graduates have gone on to pursue careers as a:
- research assistant
- senior healthcare assistant
