Across your MSc, you’ll complete a mix of assessments designed to stretch your thinking, strengthen your communication skills, and bring your learning to life. Each module (except your final research modules) includes three assignments – helping you build confidence, test ideas and apply theory in more than one way.
Here’s a snapshot of the main types of assessments you’ll complete across your core modules. Want to know what assessments you’ll sit for each module, or just need more detail? Request more info and our team would love to talk it through with you.
-
Technical report: produce a detailed, well-structured analysis of a technical problem, solution, or system, often with screenshots, code snippets, or configuration evidence.
-
Design or implementation project: plan, build, and document a working prototype, model, or system using industry-standard tools and practices.
-
Case study analysis: evaluate a real or simulated scenario, identify challenges, and propose solutions grounded in computing principles and current best practice.
-
Discussion board contribution: engage in structured, tutor-led online debates, demonstrating critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration.
-
Portfolio: compile artefacts such as code, diagrams, system models, and explanatory notes to showcase your technical and professional skills.
-
Ethics or strategy briefing paper: advise an organisation, client, or committee on a complex technology issue, balancing technical, ethical, and commercial perspectives.
-
Presentation or video demonstration: explain your project or technical findings in a recorded or live presentation, sometimes paired with a live or narrated system demo.
-
Research dissertation: complete an in-depth research project that tackles a significant computing challenge, presenting your findings, methodology, and technical recommendations in a formal dissertation.

MSc Psychology programme details
This Psychology MSc conversion degree gives a broad range of knowledge and advanced skills across the core areas of psychological sciences, supporting progression toward professional psychology training or roles in areas like occupational psychology, educational psychology, and counselling psychology.
You’ll study key topics including biological psychology, cognitive psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, and individual differences, while building expertise in psychological research methods, qualitative research methods, and analysing data. You’ll also critically evaluate ethical issues, research practices, and the historical foundations of psychology.
-
On this online Psychology programme, you’ll study a series of carefully designed modules. With flexible monthly starts, you’ll join the next available module and study alongside a cohort of psychology master's students learning the same subject at the same time.
-
Biological Psychology
Explore the biological foundations of human behaviour, including brain function, genetics and psychopharmacology. You’ll analyse how neurobiological systems influence emotion, motivation and mental health, and develop critical analysis skills using current research on disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. -
Social Psychology
Examine how people think, feel and behave in social contexts. Topics include identity, group dynamics, prejudice, aggression and altruism. You’ll critically evaluate classic and contemporary theories, and apply them to real-world social issues using qualitative psychology approaches. -
Developmental Psychology
Understand how people change across the lifespan. From infancy through ageing, you’ll explore cognitive, emotional and social development – including language, attachment and identity. This psychology course prepares you to critically reflect on both typical and atypical development in context. -
Cognitive Psychology
Delve into the human mind through the study of perception, attention, memory and decision-making. This module enables you to analyse how we process information and how cognition interacts with emotion. You’ll build advanced understanding of experimental design and theory within cognitive psychology. -
Personality and Differential Psychology
Explore individual differences in traits, temperament and behaviour. Assess the development and impact of personality, including its relevance to mental health and psychological disorders. You’ll evaluate major theories and engage in academic study using real-world case examples. -
Ethical and Conceptual Issues in Psychology
What makes research ethical, valid and meaningful? This module examines the foundations of psychological research, from historic schools of thought to modern dilemmas. You’ll study ethics codes, open science, and the emotional labour of working in clinical psychology or research, and develop your critical appraisal skills. -
Cyberpsychology
Investigate the psychological impact of digital life – from online identity and virtual relationships to behaviour change and mobile health apps. You’ll assess the role of technology in therapy and wellbeing, and explore both the benefits and risks to mental health in virtual environments. -
Organisational Psychology and Behaviour
Explore how psychology shapes workplace culture, leadership and performance. Learn how psychology research informs employee wellbeing, motivation and group behaviour. You’ll assess interventions for change and apply psychological principles in business and HR contexts. -
Research Methods and Statistics
Gain the core skills to conduct and evaluate research at masters level. You’ll study both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, learning how to design studies, analyse data, and interpret results with precision. This module lays the foundation for research excellence. -
Research Development
Sharpen your focus and prepare for your final project. You’ll develop a research question, conduct a literature review, and submit a formal ethics application. On this module you'll develop skills and tools to plan and present an impactful research proposal with academic rigour. -
Research Project
Conduct an independent research project on a psychological topic of your choice. Apply what you’ve learned in theory, method and analysis to investigate a meaningful question. Your final project demonstrates your research expertise, critical analysis, and readiness for further training or professional accreditation after successful completion of your degree.
-
-
Your module schedule depends on the month you start, and whether you study full or part-time. You'll study each module once, completing all taught modules before moving on to your final two modules: Research Development and Research Project.
- Full-time students: start a new 8-week module every month.
- Part-time students: start a new 8-week module every other month.

Across your MSc, you’ll complete a mix of assessments designed to stretch your thinking, strengthen your communication skills, and bring your learning to life. Each module (except your final research project) includes three assignments – helping you build confidence, test ideas and apply theory in more than one way.
Here’s a snapshot of the main types of assessments you’ll complete across your core modules. Want to know what assessments you’ll sit for each module, or just need more detail? Request more info and our team would love to talk it through with you.
-
Case-based report: analyse complex psychological scenarios using evidence-based frameworks to recommend diagnoses, interventions or treatments with critical justification.
-
Critical essay: explore a key theory, debate or topic in psychology in depth. Evaluate competing perspectives, engage with current research and build a clear, convincing argument.
-
Reflection piece: draw connections between what you’re learning and your professional or personal experience. These reflective tasks help you consolidate understanding and identify real-world relevance.
-
Infographic and commentary: turn complex psychological insights into clear, engaging visuals, and pair your infographic with a concise written commentary to demonstrate both creativity and clarity.
-
Podcast or video: present your understanding of psychological theories or mental health challenges through short audio or video recordings – bringing ideas to life through your voice and perspective.
-
Research dissertation: complete an independent empirical research project – from literature review to final write-up – that showcases your ability to investigate, analyse and communicate psychological research with impact.
