Masters Degree Description

Studying psychology is all about understanding how people think, feel, and act. On our one-year conversion programme, accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), you'll deep dive into the science behind human behaviour. You’ll explore everything from social psychology and how we interact with others, to how our brain works, and mental health issues. You'll learn from experts who are leading researchers in their fields, giving you research opportunities to develop both your critical thinking and practical research skills—whether it's collecting data, analysing results, or working in professional environments on the placement.

You will gain hands-on experience with a 12-week work placement in a professional psychology setting—whether with our partner organisations, a clinical practice, or one of our world-class research centres.

Our programme is a conversion course, and you will not need any prior knowledge of psychology to apply. At the end of the programme, you’ll have the skills necessary to start your career journey in any area of psychology.

Entry Requirements

This is a conversion course. Conversion courses allow you to study a subject unrelated to your undergraduate degree or current career, and support you with a change of career path. No prior knowledge or degree in the subject is required.

In order to be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.

With your online application you will need to provide:

A copy of your degree certificate and transcripts which show you have achieved a 2:1 honours degree in any subject, or an equivalent international degree. If your degree certificate or result is pending, please upload any interim transcripts or provisional certificates.
A copy of your certificate to show that you have achieved a grade C/4 in GCSE Mathematics, or an equivalent qualification.
A copy of your IELTS certificate with an overall score of 7.0 with 6.5 in all subskills, or evidence of an accepted equivalent. Please include the date of your expected test if this qualification is pending. If you have alternative acceptable evidence, such as an undergraduate degree studied in the UK, please supply this in place of an IELTS.
