Core modules
Students will study six core modules across Psychology and Computer Science as well as a Behavioural and Data Science project. These modules include:
Issues in Psychological Science
This module covers core psychology and behavioural science content relevant to later modules, including memory, attention, perception, personality and individual differences, choice, and subjective well-being.
Methods and Analysis in Behavioural Science
The purpose of the module is to introduce experimental design and statistical programming. Behavioural scientists need statistical analysis of experimental data to identify whether the results are consistent enough to be confident that the effects are significant.
Foundations of Data Analytics
You will study techniques for how to go from raw data to a deeper understanding of the patterns and structures within the data, to support making predictions and decision making.
Foundations of Computing
The aim of the module is to equip you with a grounding in foundations of computing, to enable students from a wider background to confidently undertake a taught masters programme in advanced computing topics.
Psychological Models of Choice
The main aim of this module Psychological Models of Choice is to review theories of individual choice. Core empirical results in the decision-making literature will be reviewed and their theoretical implications explored.
Data Mining
This module will help you understand the value of data mining in solving real-world problems, as well as the foundational concepts underlying data mining. You will also understand the algorithms commonly used in data mining tools to gain the ability to apply data mining tools to real-world problems.
Optional modules
Students will be able to choose further optional modules from Psychology and Computer Science lists.
