What will I learn?

Psychology is the systematic study of behaviour and experience. As a discipline, it is wide-ranging and spans the divide between biological and social sciences. On this degree – which is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) – you’ll get to explore psychology from all angles, from cognitive and biological, to social and developmental, and focus on specialist areas of your choice to tailor your MSc to your chosen career path. This conversion course attracts a large and diverse body of students and is open to all applicants who have completed an undergraduate degree in any discipline – or those who have relevant work experience and are looking to develop their knowledge and skills in psychology and gain BPS accreditation. Take a look at the entry requirements section for more information about what we expect from you.
