Course content

The online MSc Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing is a conversion degree designed for those looking to specialise in mental health. Whether you’re aiming to become a Chartered Psychologist or to integrate psychological expertise into your current profession, this programme offers a focused path forward.

Aligned with the British Psychological Society’s (BPS) curriculum requirements, you’ll study foundational areas including cognitive, biological, developmental, and social psychology. The programme also covers ethics, personality theory, and research methods. You’ll then move into specialist content focusing on mental health, wellbeing, and behaviour change, before completing an independent research project tailored to your interests.

Fully online and designed with flexibility in mind, you can choose to study full-time or part-time, allowing you to balance your education with work and personal responsibilities. With a supportive, structured approach, you’ll be empowered to learn at your own pace, on your own terms.

This programme is currently pending accreditation by the BPS. If approved, it will provide the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), the essential first step towards becoming a Chartered Psychologist in the UK.
