Program overview

A one year master degree in psychological science, covering cognitive, social, developmental and biological psychology, research design and statistics, psychological assessment and an empirical dissertation carried out under supervision.

Master of Science in Psychology is the only programme in this catalogue with a raised academic bar, asking 60 percent rather than 50, and it appears only in the governing feed, so its details should be reconfirmed with the institution at the offer stage before a deposit is paid.

Master of Science in Psychology is taught in London and awarded by the University of Greater Manchester, and completing Master of Science in Psychology supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives 18 months of post study work permission for applications made from January 2027. Because Master of Science in Psychology completes at a licensed student sponsor with a track record of compliance, the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies for Master of Science in Psychology is issued by the college directly. Master of Science in Psychology is a taught programme, and UK rules in force since January 2024 do not allow students on taught programmes to bring a spouse or children as dependants. Every visa decision rests with UK immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Master of Science in Psychology in writing before you pay a deposit.

Admission to Master of Science in Psychology requires a bachelor degree of three year duration from a recognised university at 60 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Master of Science in Psychology is recorded at GBP 17,500 a year with no application fee.

Apply Study Visa manages the Master of Science in Psychology application, the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies, the deposit and the UK student visa as one process.

  • Application: No application fee. A tuition deposit of GBP 8,750 is recorded to reserve the seat and trigger the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies.

Career opportunities

  • Mental Health Support Worker: community and clinical services
  • Research Assistant: university and applied studies
  • HR and People Analyst: organisational behaviour roles
  • Wellbeing Programme Coordinator: employers and charities

Reality check: practising as a psychologist in the UK requires accredited training and registration well beyond this degree, so students aiming at clinical work must verify how this specific award fits the accreditation ladder before enrolling.
