The Psychology MSc is a conversion course for graduates from disciplines other than psychology who wish to gain GBC (Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership). This is the first step for those who wish to work as a chartered psychologist in the UK.
GBC ensures that a student has sufficient knowledge, understanding and experience of academic psychology before they apply for postgraduate professional training in areas such as clinical, occupational, educational, forensic or counselling psychology.
The MSc Psychology is also appropriate for psychology graduates who want to pursue postgraduate professional training in psychology, but whose undergraduate degree is not accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
This conversion course covers all the key sub-disciplines of contemporary psychology and provides extensive training in research skills. You will gain a broad understanding of psychology, learning to critically appraise psychological models, theories and methodologies.
Teaching is in small groups and seminars, with practical research exercises and access to high quality laboratories.
