Overview

Specifically designed for students who wish to pursue an academic research career, the Psychological Research MSc course at the University of Warwick offers first-hand research experience through placements in different laboratories, working on thematically related research.

Key Facts

This lab rotation offers strong candidates for doctoral research more scope to explore different topics within their areas of interest than the traditional options at Master’s level.

Two placements taken during the course allow you to contribute directly to your chosen supervisors’ research. A subsequent research project then gives you the chance to put this experience into practice in developing your own area of study, supported through the advice of relevant academics. Possible themes include (but are not limited to):

Sensorimotor Control

Cognition and Emotion

Development of Language and Communication

Evolutionary Psychology

Alternatively, you can plan your own pathway based on our research expertise.

Careers

Graduates from this course have gone on to secure posts in research and on to further postgraduate study, continuing their research in their fields.

Our department has a dedicated professionally qualified Senior Careers Consultant offering impartial advice and guidance together with workshops and events throughout the year.
