Our British Psychological Society (BPS) conversion courses are designed for graduates of other disciplines who wish to pursue a career in psychology but whose first degree is not recognised by the BPS. Entry on to the MSc Psychology does not require you to have studied any psychology previously.
This course attracts a range of students including those who have recently completed an undergraduate degree in a subject other than psychology or a non-accredited degree and also applicants who have come from jobs in the public and private sector, who are looking for a career change. Successful completion of the course provides graduates in other disciplines with a route to becoming a professional psychologist.
MSc Psychology is a 180-credit qualification which requires no previous experience or study of psychology.
PGDip is a 120-credit qualification which requires that you have already completed 60 credits of study in psychology.
The PG Dip and MSc students are taught together, with the MSc students taking their additional modules from term two onwards. This means that, assuming you meet the entry criteria for both courses, it's easy to transfer from one to the other at any point in the first term.
Accreditation by the British Psychological Society (BPS)
Successful completion of either qualification confers the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the BPS. This is the first step towards becoming a chartered Psychologist and provides the basis for further professional training in psychology.
As a graduate member of the BPS you will also receive additional benefits including:
using the designated graduate member title MBPsS
creating contacts and other networking opportunities by joining professional and membership groups
free online access to the Society's academic journals
reduced rates for our members for conferences and events.
