Over the course of the MSc, students will carry out a small scale research study and provide a written report on the study of 5000 words.
The small scale research study consists of an empirical research project. Students will be required to design, implement and fully evaluate an empirical research design in their area of applied psychology.

The execution and evaluation of this empirical study will be written up in a small scale resarch report. |
