The MSc in Applied Psychology is founded on the expertise and knowledge of the University of Liverpool’s distinguished School of Psychology. Research-leading faculty from the School of Psychology and leaders in international psychology – both researchers and practitioners – feature throughout the programme, and contribute to the design of the modules.
This programme is designed for students who wish to apply psychological knowledge and research in real-life situations – such as in educational, organisational, and health settings, those keen to pursue doctoral programmes in the field of psychology, and professionals looking to compete for promotion or career advancement, and are interested in the broad discipline of psychology.
Cutting edge research and contributions from leading academics and practitioners in the field of psychology combine to create a rich, interactive and highly stimulating experience for students throughout the programme. During the programme students will thrive in the interactive e-learning environment with the use of multimedia, including subject matter interviews, simulations, and case studies.
In answering this question in his best-selling student handbook Michael Eysenck states that cognitive psych is "concerned with the internal processes involved in making sense of the environment, and deciding what action might be appropriate. These processes include attention, perception, learning, memory, language, problem solving, reasoning and thinking."
