Entry requirements
Students will need an undergraduate degree (minimum 2.1) in Psychology or a closely related discipline; or other recognised equivalent qualification. Students without such qualifications will be considered on an individual basis but will be required to demonstrate how their experiences and knowledge would enable them to study this course at Masters-level in their Personal Statement. Good performance in research methods and statistics classes and / or in the conduct and presentation of a research project are likely to act as a mitigating factor where a 2.1 has not been achieved at undergraduate level. Their application form requires a written statement in which they should outline reasons for wishing to undertake the MSc / MRes Psychological Research Methods course. We will be looking to ensure that they have a sound rationale for joining the course based on a realistic appreciation of the discipline and profession of psychology.
