Summary
This BPS accredited conversion programme will provide you with the necessary skills to begin a career in psychology after completing an unrelated undergraduate degree or career path.
Psychology is the systematic and scientific study of the most complex and fascinating of nature’s creations – the human mind. It explores some of humanity’s biggest questions and strives to understand behaviour and how the mind works.
On this one-year programme, you will be provided with all the necessary skills to become a psychologist. You will study psychology from a scientific standpoint, with an emphasis on its social, cognitive and biological aspects, whilst developing your quantitative and qualitative research skills. The programme is a conversion course so you will not need any prior knowledge of psychology to apply.
Teaching is research led, which means you will be taught by psychologists who have delivered significant advances in knowledge and improvements in quality of life across the world.
This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Successful completion provides eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society.
Accreditations - British Psychological Society (BPS)
The course is accredited by the British Psychological Society and so offers a way into careers in psychology that require BPS registration. Therefore, the course will be beneficial to those already working in psychology-informed fields or who already have some knowledge of psychology but who wish to pursue a career that requires BPS registration. However, it can also provide a first step into psychology for motivated and high achieving graduates without a background in psychology.
