The Department of Psychology offers one-year taught Masters courses, each delivered by a group of staff specialising in the area of study. Our Master's courses offer the opportunity to focus on a particular aspect of psychology, learn key approaches to the discipline including statistical training, and to undertake research for a dissertation in your chosen subject, supported by a member of staff with expertise in that area. Durham's strengths in these areas of psychology make these degrees a unique opportunity to participate in an active research environment and to develop ideas about your future career.
