MSc Cyberpsychology

Cyberpsychology at NTU is all about the psychological study of the use of the internet and digital technologies. On this course you’ll delve into the psychology of tech and platforms, from social media to video conferencing and VR: how people use them and why, and how this impacts on their health and wellbeing – both positive and negative. You’ll explore the breadth of user behaviours in the era of online interaction, including deviant activity from hacking and cybercrime as well as trolling and bullying. On this course you’ll benefit from our academic expertise, alongside gaining invaluable first-hand experience as a cyberpsychologist. The combination of these will help you to develop the professional and academic skills required to commence a successful career in this area.
