Entry requirements

Undergraduate degree: 2:1 or equivalent in any subject. Preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate relevant previous academic or work experience in a related field e.g., education / psychology in education / research skills. This is a conversion programme and does not require prior knowledge of psychology. As a Psychology conversion programme, this degree is not suitable for applicants who already have an undergraduate degree in Psychology. The only exception to this is if the degree was not accredited by the British Psychological Society and you need the Graduate Basis for Chartership of the BPS to progress to professional training. If this is the case, please indicate so clearly on your application form.
