Psychology MRes at York St John University

The Psychology MRes allows you to specialise in a specific psychological topic, while also gaining broader research training. You will work as part of a team in an established area of nationally and internationally recognised research excellence.

The course is structured around a year long 60 credit module on psychological research methods, which is benchmarked against the ESRC postgraduate training and development guidelines. Alongside this, you will undertake an extended 120 credit thesis in an area of expertise of one of our members of academic staff.

In addition to gaining an advanced level qualification, you will have the opportunity to develop valuable transferable skills, these include:

• Data collection and analysis
• Research design
• Decision making
• Critical thinking
• Independent learning
• Presentation skills

It is important that you contact a member of our psychology team to discuss your research proposal prior to submitting your application. You will be required to submit an outline research proposal, in line with an advertised project area, in order to be accepted on the course. This will be assessed by a thesis supervisor.
