Psychology is both a biological science and a social science that provides an exceptionally broad range of conceptual perspectives and skills related to analysis of the human mind. It is a subject that offers many options for career progression in specialist areas.
The Psychological Sciences conversion course provides sound knowledge of different approaches to the study of behaviour within the core areas of psychology. You will develop analytic expertise and research skills, creating a solid basis for further advanced study within the discipline (e.g. PhD, ClinPsyD, DEdPsy).
This psychology master’s conversion course leads to a postgraduate qualification for students who have not studied psychology at undergraduate level and students who have studied a psychology degree without the BPS accreditation.
With this, you will be eligible to apply for graduate membership of the British Psychological Society (BPS). This is an entry requirement for all further postgraduate training programmes such as a PhD, ClinPsyD, or DEdPsy that lead to chartered status; for example, those accredited by the regulatory body, the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

It will show your ability to interpret primary source material and integrate sound findings into your final report. This is your chance to develop a unique perspective on your chosen topic and work independently of others, consistent with BPS guidelines.
