Course summary

Our online, research-led Psychology (Conversion) MSc aims to enable graduates from non-psychology backgrounds to acquire the knowledge and skills to pursue or advance their careers in psychology professions. Why choose this course?

  • Develop the same grounding in psychological science as a three-year undergraduate course on this 100% online route
  • Currently seeking accreditation from the British Psychological Society (BPS)
  • The majority of your learning is asynchronous - this means that you can work through course content around any existing commitments you may have
  • We evaluate your understanding via authentic assessments. This means that you will complete tasks that help develop your skills and knowledge, not just test your memory
Our fully online MSc Psychology (conversion) comprises a Master of Science programme that will provide you with Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society (subject to programme accreditation), (application for accreditation submitted to the British Psychological Society). This offers equivalent recognition to successfully completing a British Psychological Society accredited undergraduate psychology degree, which is an essential requirement to enable you to pursue a career in most recognised psychology professions. The programme, which requires no prior knowledge of the subject, will provide you with a solid grounding across the breadth of psychology. As you start the programme you will be introduced to the foundational elements of social psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology, biological psychology, personality and individual differences, and qualitative and quantitative research methods applied to psychology. In the second semester you will continue to develop your core psychological knowledge but we will also broaden your thinking. The module “Grand Challenges in Psychology” will enable you to place your knowledge of psychology in the context of the wider world. The module “Applying Psychology” will lead you to reflect on the skills you have developed and how to articulate them to future employers or education providers, preparing you for the next steps in education or employment. Throughout the programme, you will undertake a dissertation project, working with one-to-one guidance from an active psychology researcher.
