What Masters course from Psychology to UI/UX Research?
Hi everyone!
I really find the concept of UX research interesting and I would like to venture into it, but I'm not entirely sure how to. For context, I did an undergraduate degree in BA Psychology, political science and public administration. I did a summer internship at a big investment bank MNC and got placed for a full time role in HR. I worked there for two years and recently resigned because I realised the work was not for me and I faced a lot of personal issues due to a supremely toxic environment. I studied psychology because I liked it and I realised I still want to pursue a related career where I get to use some of my learnings in real time. My HR job was purely operational and did not allow that.
I want to do my masters sometime next year and I was researching on possible career paths in psychology that are not too academic which is when I stumbled across ux research. I really wanna know if there's certain masters courses that are more advantageous than the others in terms of getting placed better while also not fully restricting my scope of learning. It would be great if anyone in this field with a transition from psychology to UX research can help me understand what kind of a master's degree I can do and how your experience has been in this field.
