This Master's programme gives students a uniquely broad training in advanced research design, methods and statistics, in preparation for further postgraduate education or for a research career. The programme has a strong practical and applied element - students learn about applied interventions (including clinical, forensic, health, organisational and sport psychology interventions) and applications of research methods in applied contexts.
The overall aim is to combine advanced reseach methods training with a professional focus. Students are provided with a) an understanding of how research can be applied and b) teaching and training from applied psychology professionals and clinicians.
