Course Overview

Teaching on this MSc is course-specific, with classes designed and delivered exclusively at the postgraduate level, rather than shared with undergraduate courses. All classes are held on one day per week, maximizing flexibility for working on assignments and helping maintain your other commitments.

Successful completion of the MSc Psychology (Conversion) program confers eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS) (students must achieve an overall pass mark of at least 50 percent and must pass the empirical psychology project). Attaining GBC enables you to pursue a career in specialist areas of psychology, including Clinical, Forensic, Health, Occupational, Counselling, Educational, or Sports and Exercise Psychology, with a view to becoming a Chartered Psychologist in these areas.

Other students completing the MSc Psychology (Conversion) program go on to work in a wide variety of areas allied to psychology and beyond, utilizing the transferable knowledge and skills that a psychology degree develops.
