“Studying Psychology MSc was a challenging and enjoyable experience. The course gave me the opportunity to develop confidence and skills in critical writing enabling me to progress onto a PhD. The staff members were all very supportive and accessible to students. I also felt the good camaraderie with others on the course.”

Graduated Social Research and Evaluation MSc in 2015
“The course offered excellent training in research methods and allowed me to follow my own interests in discourse analysis and qualitative research while living in Germany. The evening webinars were particularly helpful and the discussions with other students really brought the module materials to life. I was very impressed with the personal support by tutors and help was only ever a few clicks away. Overall, the course was excellent preparation for doctoral research and I have now continued my studies with a PhD at Huddersfield.“
