The MA in Research Methods (Developmental Psychology) is a Social Sciences faculty degree that involves other departments within the University. It is primarily designed for students who plan to continue their graduate studies at PhD level in the broad area of developmental psychology. It is recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) as providing suitable training for this purpose, and the course is one of the ESRC accredited NINE-DTP training pathways. Applicants interested in applying for NINE-DTP funding should contact prospective supervisors in the Psychology Department. It is also relevant for students wishing to pursue careers in applied areas, such as clinical or educational psychology.
