Course summary

As a student on the MSc Mental Health (Conversion) programme, you will join a vibrant and diverse cohort of approximately 150 students.

The programme provides detailed coverage of all core aspects of psychology:

  • developmental
  • social
  • cognitive
  • biological psychology
  • individual difference
It also includes conceptual and theoretical perspectives in psychology, and psychological research methods and data analysis. You will complete a research project in an area of psychology relevant to mental health. Why is this programme unique? It is the only British Psychological Society accredited MSc conversion programme that focuses on the psychology of mental health. This focus is particularly suited to those who wish to pursue a career in a caring profession, such as clinical psychology. The programme is also unique in being delivered jointly by a staff team offering unrivalled expertise in both psychological science and clinical psychology. Accreditation This is a professionally accredited programme that offers you the opportunity to study psychology to postgraduate level and become eligible for graduate basis for chartered membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society.
