In the second year, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of the BPS core areas, along with focused training in practical skills such as conducting experiments, collecting and analysing data, observation techniques, interview skills, and psychometric testing.
The third year offers the opportunity to apply your knowledge to more specialist areas, with a variety of optional modules to choose from. You’ll also design and implement your own research project.
