Course Overview

The program is structured as a supervised research initiative, spanning approximately three years, with the thesis submission typically occurring within four years from the initial registration date. Participants will be guided by a proficient academic team, often composed of faculty members from both our Malaysia and UK campuses. A key requirement for students is to disseminate their research findings through publication in high-impact journals, although this is not mandatory for the viva and graduation processes. Annual appraisals will be conducted to evaluate students' progress, and successful completion of this assessment is necessary to advance to the next academic year. The medium of instruction is English. Research areas within the program encompass a broad spectrum, including but not limited to: Industrial and Organisational Psychology Counselling and Clinical Psychology Developmental and Social Psychology Cyber Wellness Hypnosis It is important to note that these areas are not exhaustive, and students have the flexibility to explore diverse topics within the field.
