Dear colleagues

If you know of any students who are looking for a graduate programme for 
next year, please pass on this message.

The M.Phil. in Social and Developmental Psychology at Cambridge now 
includes the option to specialize in psychology of religion for the 
duration of the course. It is a 9-month course (October-June) and there 
are places available for 2010-2011. Applications are welcome through the 
end of June 2010. Please note that all funded places have already been 
taken so all applicants at this point will need to be self-funded.

The course is assessed by three 5,000-word papers and one empirical 
dissertation. The course also includes an opportunity for graduate-level 
training in psychometrics and quantitative and qualititative research 
methods. 

M.Phil. students choosing to specialize in psychology of religion also 
have the opportunity to join my Religious Cognition Research Lab, which 
currently includes 4 doctoral students and 3 M.Phil. students; most of us 
are focusing on some aspect or other of how religious believers and 
non-believers represent God cognitively and emotionally. There is also the 
opportunity to participate in the wider interdisciplinary Psychology and 
Religion Research Group (directed by Fraser Watts), which includes some 25 
students and faculty in different departments in the University.

More details of the course are available at 
http://www.ppsis.cam.ac.uk/prospective/postgraduate/mphil_psychology.html

You're welcome to get in touch in advance of any application if you'd like 
to explore specific research ideas.

Best wishes,

Nicholas Gibson
