The University of East London's School of Psychology

The University of East London's School of Psychology is one of the country's largest providers of postgraduate education, offering a wide range of applied programmes at master's and doctorate level. The school is based at UEL's Stratford campus, in the heart of east London, home to the 2012 Olympic Games.  The campus has excellent transport links and is highly accessible to all areas of London, Essex, The Home-Counties and beyond.

Our programmes equip students with the knowledge base, practitioner training and research capabilities required to register with the Health Professions Council and to work as a practitioners in their chosen field.

The school also offers professional postgraduate training in Career Guidance (ICG-accredited) and Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP-accredited). Our students benefit from teaching from academics who are chartered psychologists and practitioners and active researchers in their fields.

We also provide doctoral programmes for existing practitioners in Educational and Occupational Psychology, as well as an MSc Occupational Psychology and MSc in Clinical and Community Psychology.

We accept students whose first degree is in a discipline other than psychology. For those wanting a career change, we offer a conversion programme (MSc Psychology). Graduands from this programme can then apply for our practitioner training, any of our other postgraduate programmes. We also offer programmes in Business, Applied and Applied Positive Psychology, the first of its kind in the UK.
