Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Study an applied, practical conversion course that enables graduates from other disciplines to access psychology careers. On successful completion, you'll meet the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC)
Why study MSc Psychology (Conversion)?
Psychology gives us the tools to investigate and understand the human mind and behaviour, which has broad applications in a wide range of careers, from health to business. The breadth of career paths makes psychology a popular career choice, for those with and without a first degree in psychology.
For individuals from non-psychology backgrounds, there's a growing interest in psychology conversion courses, which provide an alternative entry route into the profession. Our MSc Psychology (Conversion) meets this demand, enabling graduates from other disciplines to access careers in psychology, without the need to complete a second undergraduate degree.
A degree level qualification at 2.2 or above. This may include a degree in a subject other than psychology, or a degree in psychology that has not been accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). The latter may also include applicants who have undertaken an accredited degree, but who have failed to pass the empirical psychology project but have achieved at least a Lower 2:2 degree.
Accredited Learning is only permissible to a maximum of 60 credits and credit for experiential learning is not permitted. Successful completion of 180 credits in psychology is required to meet eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartered (GBC) membership.

Our MSc Psychology (Conversion) is aimed at those who are interested in pursuing a psychology career after graduating from another discipline. From Forensic Science to Journalism, this course enables you to shift the direction of your career as you start your training to become a chartered psychologist.
Our conversion course is open to those with a non-Psychology undergraduate degree, who have gained sufficient, relevant work experience. This course is also suitable for overseas students looking to progress to BPS-accredited training, which will enable them to practice as a psychology professional in the UK.
If you don't have a background in psychology, our Psychology Conversion Master's is your first step to gaining access to careers in psychology or counselling. Completing this course (with at least a Lower Second Class Honours degree; 2:2) will give you eligibility to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartered (GBC) membership with the BPS.
