Studying with us
Inspirational teaching
As a postgraduate student at Leeds, you'll become part of an international community of leading academics engaged in innovative research. With an active research environment at the School of Psychology, we’re proud to offer two specialised courses taught by staff who are experts in their field.
How you'll learn
As a student in the School of Psychology, you'll work in partnership with our academic staff and have access to our leading facilities and our latest research. This means you'll learn first-hand how our research informs understanding in these highly specialised areas.
Our Masters courses combine traditional lectures, seminars and tutorials with independent project-based investigation. This gives you the chance to not only develop a broader skill set, but also a deeper understanding of the latest research and insights within the field.
Flexible study
As well as offering unique and specialised insights, our Masters courses are taught over two days a week, giving you great flexibility for your studies.
From organising your own private study time to arranging any placements or volunteer work, you'll be able to plan your time to suit you.
Dedicated career support
At Leeds, we view a Masters degree as an important investment in your future. To help you get the most from your investment, we provide all our students with dedicated career support from personal tutors. We see these tutors as a vital element of our Leeds for Life initiative, and that means you'll get support with every aspect of your career planning and development.
Our aim is to make sure all our students become stand-out candidates for future applications, in whichever career they want to pursue.
