Course summary

An intensive one year Master’s course with accreditation from the British Psychological Society, enabling you to pursue a career in this area even if your background is in another discipline. WHY THIS COURSE? This conversion course will appeal to you if you do not already have a psychology degree. It is approved and accredited by the British Psychological Society, (it confers the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership), which means you’ll have the essential knowledge to undertake professional training. This intensive programme means with focused work and preparation, you will get a fully-accredited course in the space of 12 rewarding months. WHO ARE YOU? You might be a recent graduate or someone who’s been in work for a while and wants to change direction. You’ll be fascinated by how psychology underpins everything we do and aids our understanding of behaviour – not just of people, but of animals too. Please note that the MSc Psychological Science (Conversion) programme is intended for students who have completed a degree in a subject other than Psychology, to undertake an intensive foundational course and achieve a Psychology qualification which is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and entails Graduate Membership of the BPS. It is not an advanced specialism degree in Psychology, but rather covers the core areas of Psychology and associated research skills as required for BPS accreditation. We ask that you take note of this when considering your application.
