MSc course choices

At PBS we offer four MSc programmes [MSc Organisational and Social Psychology, MSc Psychology of Economic Life, MSc Social and Cultural Psychology and MSc Social and Public Communication] and support a wide range of PhD studies and also two Undergraduate courses

We structure our programmes and PhD studies carefully in order to develop students skills incrementally and to culminate in final papers and exams. Read more in our section on Pedagogy.

These programmes run from October - September (12 months).
