Description
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Applied Psychology is a research-focused postgraduate programme designed for individuals who wish to deepen their understanding of psychological principles and apply them to real-world contexts.

The programme emphasises advanced research methodology, critical thinking, experimental design, data analysis and scientific writing, supported by access to relevant research tools and academic resources.
