MSc Psychology (conversion)

Our MSc Psychology (conversion) is a course for graduates from degrees other than Psychology; or graduates with a Psychology degree that is not accredited by the British Psychology Society.

Psychology enables you to study the workings of the human mind and how this is revealed in human behaviour, both consciously and unconsciously. As a psychology student, you will be introduced to psychological theories and will learn to critically evaluate them so that you can reach your own well-informed conclusions about the nature and origins of human and non-human behaviour. This is a conversion course specifically for those who already have an undergraduate degree but wish to change pathway to become a psychologist.

You’ll have access to excellent facilities and equipment. We have recently invested £320k in new hardware and software for our psychology laboratories and we also have a laboratory in the new £13m state-of-the-art Health and Wellbeing Building officially opened in June 2023.

An undergraduate degree with a minimum of 2:2 classification.

Other qualifications, relevant work and life experience may be taken into account.
