Post Graduate Certificate or MSc in Emotions, Credibility and Deception

People Intelligence Institute is proud to partner with the Emotional Intelligence Academy to offer courses as part of the all new PG Certificate in Forensic Emotion Awareness leading to a Masters degree in Emotions, Credibility and Deception. Following 3 years of development, the Emotional Intelligence Academy is now accepting applications to the all new Masters degree program in Emotions, Credibility and Deception for the 2013/14 academic year.

The program is a partnership between the Emotional Intelligence Academy and The University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) and is being offered in a blended learning format to accommodate distance learners. Through its Paul Ekman International Approved Centers and blended learning approach EIA is making the program accessible to an international audience.

Program Phases:

Phase 1: PG Certificate in Forensic Emotion Awareness

This unique blend of six first year modules provides a 60 credit building block, foundation for the UCLAN PG Diploma and MSc, in which the relationship between emotion awareness, credibility and deception (and their detection) are explored in greater detail, from a variety of linguistic, non-verbal and psychological perspectives (subject to validation). These modules are delivered in a blended, modulal format using textbooks, workbooks and online media and resources to minimize necessary travel. 

The first three modules of the PG Certificate are available at our PII training site and upon successful passing credit will be given towards the PG Certificate.
