in order to understand the deeper workings of the human mind and to recognise why we are who we are, it is important to look closely at two of the most fundamental and powerful influences on behaviour - culture and evolution.

as part of the psychology, culture and evolution msc students will delve into evolutionary and cross-cultural psychology, analysing how an external influence can create an internal choice or characteristic within individuals. students will look at personal relationships and how people choose a mate, morality and belief systems such as how people conclude their standing on politics and religion, and conflict and cooperation and how inequality can become a source of social conflict.

this master's programme will give graduates the analytical research skills, knowledge and expertise they'll need to pursue a phd in fields such as cross-cultural psychology, evolutionary psychology, anthropology, behavioural ecology, human ethology, comparative sociology, and multicultural and cross-cultural counselling.
