Location
Streatham Campus, Exeter
The programme is taught by a successful and dynamic group of social and organisational psychologists who, individually and collectively, enjoy a world-class reputation. As one of only a few Masters programmes in the UK that is provided by researchers working at the cutting-edge of both social and organisational fields, you will not only benefit from the friendly and supportive atmosphere, but also from high quality teaching and supervision and an exciting and international seminar series and extra-curricular activities and workshops.
The MSc will equip you with an array of skills that will enable you to function as an effective PhD student or as a professional researcher or practitioner in social and organisational Psychology.
The three-month research/practical placement is a special feature of the programme. It will help you develop your research skills by working alongside experienced researchers and/or practitioners and writing up their research in the form of a dissertation. Many students do their placement with researchers in the School of Psychology, but placement opportunities outside the University are also available. Current research partners of the group include Microsoft, IBM, Rentokil, the MoD, the NHS, the Met Office, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development and Lane4 consultancy.
