Course Overview

Graduates can pursue careers in psychology, human relations, education, or marketing. This degree may also be useful in becoming a clinical psychologist, further education lecturer, human resources officer, or market researcher. We offer a comprehensive Careers Service to help you advance your career, while our in-house, professional recruitment consultancy, Birkbeck Talent, works with Londons top employers to help you gain work experience that fits in with your evening studies.

General Eligibility

We welcome applicants without traditional entry qualifications as we base decisions on our own assessment of qualifications, knowledge, and previous work experience. We may waive formal entry requirements based on the judgment of your academic potential. GCSE (or equivalent) at grade C or grade 4 or above in mathematics is required. If you are unsure about your eligibility then please contact us. The Admissions Tutor may decide that our alternative undergraduate psychology program, which provides additional support and allows progression onto the second year of the degree (subject to the necessary grades), is more suitable for you.
