Master in Interdisciplinary Psychology Ma

Tuition fees are 25,170 USD per year.

This is the only course in the UK to offer a unique combination of transpersonal, psychoanalytic, and critical approaches to psychology. You will explore ways of understanding the self as an open, evolving project that develops through interaction, drawing upon insights from the history of human exploration of the self and the leading edge of contemporary psychological theory.

This largely theoretical programme encourages you to examine the complex relationships between psychology and cultural studies, philosophy, theology, and social science. It is designed for those seeking a deeper perspective on mind, self, and society—whether you are a practitioner in counselling, social work, or psychology, or simply an individual with a profound interest in what makes us human.
