This BPS accredited conversion programme provides you with the necessary skills to begin a career in psychology without any prior knowledge or experience.
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.
