Overview

Are you looking for a MSc programme that will fascinate your interest in the human mind and behaviour? Are you interested in the scientific underpinning of how people think, act and interact? Are you planning to move into a professional psychology career after completing an undergraduate degree in a different subject area or your current psychology undergraduate degree does not qualify you to start your journey to becoming an aspiring psychologist?

Then this MSc Psychology (Conversion) is the first stage towards your journey towards a professional career in psychology. To work towards becoming a professional psychologist your psychology degree is required to be accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). Students who are eligible for GBC with the BPS are then able to continue onto further psychology postgraduate study and supervised training.

What careers could I consider?

By completing this rigorous masters degree, it will equip you with a suite of highly transferable graduate employability skills. You’ll build your numeracy, data analysis, critical thinking, literacy, communication, team working, problem solving, presentation, observational, cognitive and organisational / management skills.

As a graduate of this programme you will be qualified for further training to work towards becoming a professional psychologist. Thus you could work towards a career in psychology such as clinical, health, forensic, counselling and educational psychology, as well as broader fields such as education, health, caring profession, human resources, marketing, commerce, civil service, and charities. Alternatively, you can choose to further develop your skills by moving into research, teacher training or further postgraduate studies (e.g., PhD).
