Master of Science Psychology

The MSc Psychology programme is a BPS accredited psychology conversion course designed for those wanting to pursue a career in psychology but who hold an undergraduate degree in a subject other than psychology, or a nonaccredited psychology degree (either combined or single honours).

This course will provide you with a good grounding in the core areas of psychology and confer eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society (BPS), which is a requirement for postgraduate training in psychology (i.e., to become a clinical, counselling, educational, forensic, health, occupational, sports, or neuro psychologist). This conversion course can also be used as a steppingstone to postgraduate research or an academic career in psychology.

An undergraduate degree in a subject other than psychology, or a non- accredited (combined / single honours) undergraduate degree that includes psychology of 2:1 or above.

Applicants with grades lower than a 2:1 may also be considered. Suitability will be assessed by the Programme Director on a case by case basis, taking into account: academic performance, professional experience, personal statement and references. Applicants may be invited for an interview prior to the offer of a place.
