Course Overview
Pursue your ambitions in psychology with the MSc Positive Psychology at University of Greater Manchester. Based in Bolton, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 18-month full-time and part-time structure. In December 2024, the University of Bolton was granted permission by the Office for Students (OfS) to change its name to the University of Greater Manchester with immediate effect. While we work to update our systems, you may see both names used in the information we provide. We often talk of 'a positive frame of mind' or 'looking on the bright side'. This Master's in Positive Psychology is your opportunity to take that to a whole new level. A minimum ielts score of 6.0 is required for admission.
