Psychology (MSc Conversion Course)

Overview

Psychology is all around us. It is a diverse and fascinating subject which offers a scientific insight into human behaviour and the mind.

Whether you are aiming to pursue a career as a psychologist or seeking to understand more about the mind and its influence on our behaviour and interactions, our BPS accredited MSc Psychology programme offers you a flexible approach to reaching that next step and achieving your goal. The programme is a psychology conversion course that provides students with non-psychology backgrounds broad grounding in psychological theory and research, and will equip you with academic and practical skills sought by a wide range of employers.

On successful completion of the programme you will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS). Therefore, this programme provides a stepping-stone into a future career in psychology either through further postgraduate training (e.g., to become a Clinical, Educational, Forensic Psychologist) or postgraduate research (e.g. PhD).
