This is a generic research methods programme that offers advanced and broad-based training in the major methods and statistical techniques in use in psychology, together with a wide range of optional modules to allow you to tailor your studies to suit your own particular interests. You choose modules from those on offer in the more specialised Master's programmes and undertake a project in one of the major research areas of the School.

The MSc programme will provide an overview and critical evaluation of the major issues, investigative strategies, and empirical findings of recent attempts to integrate these different approaches to 'brain cognition'. We believe Kent offers a distinctive and attractive programme.
