About the course

The MSc in Psychiatric Research is ideal for graduates from psychology, neuroscience, medicine, and related disciplines who want to advance their expertise in mental health research. The programme explores psychological, neurobiological and environmental mechanisms underlying mental health, and examines how new interventions are developed, evaluated and implemented. Students gain deep understanding of psychiatric conditions, alongside rigorous academic and technical skills, learning to apply a critical, evidence-based approach to research. Throughout the course, we foster confidence, independence, and a broad set of transferrable skills, ensuring graduates are well-prepared for diverse careers in research (including PhD programmes and research roles in academia), clinical practice, healthcare innovation, policy, and beyond.
