MSci Advanced Applied Psychology
About this course
Advanced applied psychology is an integrated masters degree that takes you through the full breadth of the discipline while developing a depth of applied and research expertise that goes beyond what a standard undergraduate programme provides. Psychology as a discipline investigates how people think, feel, perceive, and behave, drawing on cognitive science, neuroscience, developmental research, social psychology, and clinical investigation to build a comprehensive account of the human mind. An applied and advanced focus means you are not only developing this scientific understanding but also learning how to translate it into practice across health, education, sport, organisations, and other contexts. At the University of Chichester, this four-year, full-time MSci degree allows you to engage with all areas of psychology and gain a scientific understanding of the mind, brain, behaviour, and experience, along with the complex relationships between them. The integrated masters structure means you progress from core psychological foundations through to advanced research and applied expertise within a single programme, providing a more comprehensive training than a three-year BSc followed by a separate masters. A typical entry tariff of 104 points reflects the accessible standard of entry for a programme that rewards genuine intellectual curiosity and scientific commitment. Graduates of advanced applied psychology programmes are very well prepared for professional practice in applied psychology, research, and a wide range of roles in health, wellbeing, education, human resources, and the third sector. The masters-level qualification supports progression to doctoral training in clinical, forensic, educational, or occupational psychology, and the integrated research training develops the skills needed for academic and applied research careers. Many graduates also move into evidence-based roles in health promotion, mental health support, coaching, and organisational development.
