Master of Arts in Psychology and Economics

Program Overview

Psychology

Psychologists study:

  • How we perceive, think and learn about the world around us
  • The way biological and social factors influence how we behave
  • How interests and abilities differ from person to person
  • How we communicate verbally and non-verbally
  • How and why our mental abilities change across our lives

Psychology is an experimental and observational science. It uses evidence from research studies to develop and evaluate theories.

Our psychology courses have a strong emphasis on developing skills in research methods and statistical analysis using R programming. This supports our research-led teaching.
Economics

Economics is the study of the incentives that shape and reconcile the decisions made by:

  • Individuals
  • Businesses
  • Governments
  • Societies

Economists analyse the macroeconomic outcomes that may arise from those decisions, such as:

  • Economic fluctuations
  • Growth
  • Unemployment
  • Crises
