Location of The University of Edinburgh
This programme offers students the opportunity to focus in detail on a chosen area of the subject, while still being able to take some taught courses. It is intended for those who already have a good background in psychology, typically from undergraduate study.
The main part of the programme will involve writing a dissertation, and it is recommended that candidates should have an idea of their chosen topic or area before applying.
Students are given support in developing this topic during the year by an appointed supervisor and by dedicated training in research methodology.
Courses are offered from the wide range of subjects taught at Masters level within Psychology.
Contents
Students must write a dissertation, and are advised to take two taught courses (further courses may also be attended, but not for credit). In this case, the final mark for the programme will be determined by a weighted combination of the marks for coursework and the dissertation.
In some cases it may be possible to register for a dissertation only.
Teaching will typically be in small groups, and supervision is organised on the basis of one-to-one contact with one or a small number of expert supervisors.
IELTS
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test.
