Summary

An intensive, BPS-accredited Psychology conversion degree designed for graduates who do not have an undergraduate degree in Psychology but aspire to enter the discipline. - Gain Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership with the British Psychological Society (BPS), an essential step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist or undertaking further study.

  • Develop a deep understanding of human behaviour, evidence-based practice and applied research. These attributes are highly valued in a wide range of people-focused careers.

  • Benefit from our lecturers' diverse research interests which facilitate a breadth of learning and research opportunities across the field, from computational neuroscience to counselling.

Our MSc Psychology (Conversion) degree is a direct pathway into professional psychology. You'll gain a comprehensive grounding in human behaviour, cognitive processes and research skills, and develop a strong foundation for progression into professional psychology training or psychology-informed careers.

As this is a conversion course, it's ideal for those returning to education to prepare for a career change, and graduates who have an undergraduate degree in an unrelated subject.

You'll cover the core curriculum of an undergraduate Psychology degree, then undertake assessments at Master's level. This requires commitment, engagement and independent study, complemented by teaching and support from a diverse range of academics.

If you're studying full-time, you'll obtain a BPS-accredited psychology degree in just one year. Part-time students will do so in two years.

Whether you're aiming for a future in professional psychology or another human-focused profession, or want to enhance your knowledge with insight in human behaviour, the course offers a valued and accredited pathway into the field.

This course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Successful completion provides Graduate Basis for Registration to gain Chartered Psychologist status. This is essential to become a Chartered Psychologist, and the first step towards entry into accredited doctoral programmes.
