| Entry requirements | The MSc in Psychology (Conversion) is only open to students who don't already hold an undergraduate degree which gives eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) from the British Psychological Society (BPS). You must hold a UK honours degree (2:2 at least) or equivalent to be accepted for the MSc Psychology (Conversion). As your primary degree won't be in Psychology, your educational achievements should demonstrate that you can master the skills expected of a psychologist over the course of the MSc. This qualification has a required study order and the modules and assessments build on one another systematically. All students will begin with the postgraduate module, 'Critically exploring psychology 1'. This module equips you with the requisite skills needed to undertake postgraduate-level study. However, it does not offer remedial training. Your spoken and written English must be of an adequate standard for postgraduate study. If English is not your first language, we recommend that you will need a minimum overall score of 6.5 under the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Please see the IELTS website for details. If you’re in any doubt about the suitability of your qualifications or previous experience, please contact us before you enrol. |
