Based within one of the largest centres for teacher education and training in the UK, the MSc in Psychology in Education looks in-depth at how psychology theory and research can be applied to a greater understanding of psychology in educational contexts. This British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Psychology conversion course offers the opportunity of Graduate Basis for Chartered membership (GBC) to those who do not currently hold it (essential for pursuing a future career in psychology). No prior study of psychology is required. This intensive postgraduate degree will interest anyone who is new to studying psychology or who wishes to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the application of psychology to education. This includes individuals who already have an accredited psychology degree because of its applied focus and opportunity for further work experience, both relevant to pursuing professional training. For these students, whilst some of the theoretical content may feel familiar, its application to educational contexts will prove new and challenging. The course uses a flipped learning pedagogical approach to embed greater student flexibility and encourage deep learning. Students complete the independent learning activities ahead of timetabled interactive workshops and seminars. Students who successfully complete the BPS-accredited MSc will acquire a range of transferable skills attractive to employers, such as numerical reasoning, communication skills, computer literacy, critical thinking and problem-solving, project management and teamwork.
Applicants should usually have a first or upper second-class Honours degree or equivalent. Each applicant is considered on their academic merits and their ability to demonstrate an interest and ability in the subject area.
