At masters level and above, your work needs to be publication worthy for you to get the top marks.

This means that your introduction needs to be clear and concise while show a deep understanding of the topic.

The methods and results need to be clear and direct whilst being comprehensive.

The discussion needs to be impactful, showing clear implications and future directions whilst understanding where your literature fits in the field.

A good way to start learning how to write well is by reading top journals in your field. Look up impact factor within your psychology discipline and read articles from the top 5 journals in impact.

We teach the hourglass technique - the method used in writing journals by top quality researchers globally. Applying this technique helps students to achieve distinctions in their assignments.

This is difficult to get right as arguments tend to occur between these groups on methodology.

Your professors will want impactful research which fits well with previous literature in your topic area whereas statisticians want methods which conceptually make sense from a research methods standpoint, ignoring the influence of the topic and previous research.

Most theses and dissertations are marked by both professors in your field and statisticians so making both happy is vital.

Consult with both a professor and statistician, being the middle man between them and always trying to be the mediator, finding solutions that fit both needs.

Our team is multidisciplinary and can assist in understanding these debates and using them to thrive.

Unlike in undergrad, where it is possible to get away with surface level understandings of your topic, in postgraduate qualifications you need to understand your topic to the level that top researchers in your field do.
