COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Arts in Psychological Research offers two pathways: a thesis option and a non-thesis option, both designed to provide advanced training in research methods and psychological science. The program focuses on developing strong analytical, statistical, and critical thinking skills while giving students a deep understanding of key areas in psychology such as cognitive, clinical, developmental, social, and health psychology. Students also benefit from working closely with faculty mentors and using specialized research facilities and tools.The thesis option is intended for students who want to pursue in-depth research experience or continue on to doctoral studies. It includes the completion of a formal research thesis under faculty supervision. The non-thesis option emphasizes coursework and applied research training without a formal thesis requirement, making it more suitable for students seeking professional or applied careers in psychology-related fields. Both options prepare graduates for roles in research, data analysis, mental health support, and further academic study by building strong scientific and methodological expertise.
