Entry requirements
An undergraduate (honours) degree at 2:2, or above, in Psychology accredited by the BPS Or An undergraduate (honours) degree at 2:2, or above, in a relevant subject and successful completion of a research methods assessment. For more information, contact [email protected] or 020 8331 9000. You can also read our admissions policy. To start “Stage 2” towards becoming a Chartered Occupational Psychologist in the UK, in addition to an accredited MSc in Occupational Psychology (like this course) you must have Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) membership. This is typically obtained through a British Psychological Society (BPS)-accredited undergraduate or conversion degree (we offer the MSc Psychology Conversion degree here at Greenwich). If you studied Psychology overseas, it may also be possible to obtain GBC, if your undergraduate degree contained sufficient psychology content, as reviewed by the BPS (you must apply to the BPS directly). If your intention is to become a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, you can complete this MSc in Occupational Psychology before or after your BPS-accredited undergraduate degree, conversion course or GBC application. The background in psychology and research methods conferred by meeting GBC requirements are helpful but not essential for this MSc course.
