This unique programme offers an opportunity for advanced training in the psychology of individual differences. You will gain knowledge and skills in two of the key subdivisions in the field, namely personality and cognitive abilities (intelligence), and will learn how to conduct research that addresses how and why people differ from one another psychologically, and how these differences matter in their lives.

Your MSc culminates in a research dissertation, an original, publication-quality piece of research, undertaken in close collaboration with an academic working on the area, or an adjacent area, of your dissertation topic.
Staff involved in teaching and supervision include internationally recognised researchers whose expertise covers topics, such as:
- measurement and psychometrics
- personality
- intelligence
