Looking to change career? This psychology conversion degree is the first step to becoming a Chartered Psychologist
Investigate the human mind with our psychology conversion degree. You will cover all core BPS curriculum areas of psychology, including:
qualitative and quantitative research methods
developmental, cognitive, biological, social and individual differences
conceptual and historical issues.
Our psychology conversion course is for working professionals who want to change their career direction. It also suits psychologists working abroad who need to regularise their qualifications. Our psychology conversion degree will give you the equivalent of three years of undergraduate study.
This programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society and confers eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership.
Your undergraduate degree may be in a subject other than psychology, or a degree in psychology that was not eligible for accreditation by the BPS.
If you have previously undertaken an accredited degree, but failed to either pass the empirical psychology project or achieve at least a 2:2, you may be admitted subject to an interview.
You must also hold a minimum grade of C/4 in GCSE-level mathematics and English (or equivalent).
If you do not currently meet this mathematics requirement, then you may wish to consider a mathematics equivalency qualification. This would need to be completed with one of four approved providers that we accept and would need to be successfully completed before you apply for the MSc Psychology Conversion programme.
