Entry requirements

Entry requirements

The entry requirements for the Graduate Diploma course are:

  • An ordinary degree in psychology.
  • A honours degree in a subject other than psychology.
  • In addition to the above, all applicants would normally be expected to demonstrate that they have covered the equivalent of at least 60 credits of psychology on an honours degree or equivalent credits. Forty of these credits should be in Research Methods/Statistics, at Level 4 or equivalent.

    Applicants will also normally be required to have a grade C in mathematics to GCSE (or equivalent) level.

    Students who do not have 60 credits are required to take a preparatory course such as Graduate Certificate in Psychology.
