The Psychology MSc at Coventry University is your pathway to understanding the complexities of human behaviour and preparing for a career as a psychologist. This postgraduate degree is ideal if you hold a non-psychology undergraduate degree or a non-accredited psychology qualification, offering a comprehensive foundation in core psychological principles. You will explore biological and cognitive psychology, social psychology, individual differences, and the diversity of human experience, gaining critical insights into the science of the mind and behaviour. This course is designed for motivated individuals seeking to develop the knowledge and research skills essential for advanced study or professional practice in psychology.
You will study this Master's degree full-time on campus over one year, engaging with a curriculum that balances theoretical knowledge with practical application. The programme includes modules in qualitative and quantitative research methods, project planning, and ethics, culminating in an independent psychology project. You will also have the opportunity to explore applied psychology through modules like 'Applying Psychology (Professional Routes)' and 'Leading and Creating Organisational Health and Wellbeing', which can lead to a Level 7 Certificate in Strategic Management and Leadership. Upon successful completion, you will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society, a vital step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist.
