Entry requirements

Undergraduate qualifications - a First (1st) or Upper Second Class Honours degree (2:1) in Psychology or its equivalent from a recognised University or College is usually required. A good Lower Second Class Honours degree (2:2) may be considered if the applicant has relevant work experience (certificates and transcripts must be scanned and uploaded via the online application system). Postgraduate qualifications - a master’s degree or appropriate research training may be required. We typically expect your master’s degree to be at or equivalent to distinction or merit level, although wider suitability for PhD studies is also taken into account.
