Course content
This masters is a conversion course, meaning you don't need to have previously studied Psychology at undergraduate level. See our entry requirements for further details.
Psychology is the systematic study of behaviour and experience. As a discipline, it is wide-ranging and spans the divide between biological and social sciences. On this degree – which is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) – you’ll get to explore psychology from all angles, from cognitive and biological, to social and developmental, and focus on specialist areas of your choice to tailor your MSc to your chosen career path.
This conversion course attracts a large and diverse body of students and is open to all applicants who have completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline – or those who have relevant work experience and are looking to develop their knowledge and skills in psychology and gain BPS accreditation. Take a look at the entry requirements section for more information about what we expect from you.
- Put your skills into practice with your independent research project, focusing on a topic of your choice.
- Tailor your MSc to your chosen career pathway through a choice of Contemporary Psychology optional modules.
- With 3 set days in university each week (2 for part-time students), balance your studies around other commitments such as part-time work.
- Benefit from excellent support from our academic team to enhance your learning.
Successful completion of either qualification confers the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the BPS. This is the first step towards becoming a chartered Psychologist and provides the basis for further professional training in psychology.
