Our conversion course is specifically designed for graduates in subjects other than Psychology who wish to train as psychologists. This course is fully accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as conferring Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC).
Please note this is also available as a part-time programme.
Becoming a practising psychologist requires a number of stages of training to be completed. The first of these is obtaining an undergraduate degree (or equivalent) that is recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as conferring the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). Obtaining GBC means you can then go on to further postgraduate study in psychology with a view to becoming a chartered Clinical, Counselling, Forensic, Health, Educational or Occupational Psychologist.
Successful completion (overall minimum 50% average grade across all modules) of our MSc programme will give you a recognised qualification that will allow you to apply for GBC. The course is open to students who have an Honours degree at 2:2 or better in any subject area. Please contact us for more details on entry routes to this programme so that we can discuss your needs.
We currently schedule our teaching for Wednesdays, which means that you only need to be in university one day per week – so if you are working you will not be too disadvantaged.
This programme will give you a thorough, and intensive, grounding in the areas of psychology that form the core of the BPS curriculum. These are biological psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, individual differences and social psychology. You will also study research methods and statistics and complete the programme with a supervised research dissertation.
