Course summary
This online MSc Psychology is a conversion degree for people ready to move into the field – whether you're aiming to become a Chartered Psychologist or apply psychological insight in your current profession. With a curriculum aligned to the British Psychological Society’s (BPS) requirements, you’ll covers all the core areas of psychology, including cognitive, biological, developmental and social psychology, along with ethics, personality theory, and research methods. You’ll also explore specialist topics such as cyberpsychology and organisational behaviour, before completing an independent research project. Delivered entirely online, you can study full-time or part-time and balance your learning around work, home and life. You choose when to study, how to study, and where to study, with a clear structure to help you stay on track. This programme is currently pending accreditation by the BPS. If approved, it will provide the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) – the essential first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist in the UK.
Modules
Gain a thorough grounding in psychological science, research methods and applied insight – building knowledge across core areas such as cognitive, biological, developmental and social psychology, while developing the analytical and ethical skills expected at master’s level. Alongside this, you’ll explore areas like cyberpsychology and organisational behaviour, applying psychological theory to digital environments, workplace settings and wider social challenges. Through practical tasks and structured learning, you’ll build skills in qualitative and quantitative research, data analysis and critical evaluation.

Entry requirements
As this is a conversion master’s degree – designed for people who didn’t study psychology at undergraduate level – to apply, you’ll need to meet one of the following sets of entry requirements: Option 1: a UK honours degree at 2:2 or above (or equivalent international qualification) in a subject other than psychology. * Option 2: A non-honours degree with clear evidence of independent empirical research experience, such as a dissertation or thesis. *Because this programme is designed as a pathway into psychology, you won’t be eligible if your undergraduate degree is already accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). However, if you’ve studied some psychology before – or hold a non-accredited psychology degree – you can still apply. Every application is different. If you’re not sure whether you meet the entry requirements, or you have any questions, contact us at [email protected] for advice or visit: https://go.walbrook.ac.uk/ucas-entry-requirements
