This programme provides an opportunity for intensive advanced training in social psychology.

The staff involved in teaching and supervision include internationally recognized researchers from University of Edinburgh's Social Psychology group. Staff expertise covers a range of topics including perceptions of animals, sexism, collective action, romantic relationships, crowd behaviour, culture and identity, and use a variety of research methods to address their research interests (including both quantitative and qualitative approaches).

Students will take courses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of social psychology, and conduct an original research dissertation in one of these areas. They will also receive thorough training in advanced academic skills and research methods within psychology, including a comprehensive coverage of statistical modelling and research design using the R statistical language, and qualitative methods.
