The course provides a comprehensive grounding in the areas of psychology that form the core BPS curriculum.

Honours Degree
Generally, entry to the programme requires students to have gained a recognised honours degree award of 2:ii or above. The degree can be in any subject, including unaccredited psychology.
Successful completion of the MSc Psychology (Conversion) course confers eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with The British Psychological Society (BPS); students must achieve an overall pass mark of at least 50% and must pass the empirical psychology project.
