Presentación

If you are a graduate who has not previously studied psychology but want a course that allows you to train to become a professional psychologist, then this is ideal. The MSc Psychology Conversion programme allows non-psychology graduates a flexible route into further postgraduate training to become a professional psychologist, eg Clinical, Forensic, Health, or Sport. You’ll gain an accredited psychology qualification that confers Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society (BPS). Discover the core areas of psychology, develop key skills and take optional modules to tailor the course to your own interests. The course also includes the opportunity to undertake an individual research project. You’ll be taught in modern facilities in a School that produces nationally and internationally excellent research. Progression is possible within the School onto a number of professional training courses in psychology for those who successfully complete the conversion course.

Requisitos

Entry requirements for this course are an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent). Students who have a lower second class honours degree maybe considered for interview depending on their profile of marks and previous experience.

Programa

The course consists of 180 credits and the course runs across three semesters. Semesters one and two, which run from September until June are when we teach our classroom based modules. The third semester (June to August) is when students take their dissertation module, which is done by supervised independent study. The MSc Psychology Conversion is therefore normally awarded in early September with a graduation ceremony in November or December (although we can award at other times of year if appropriate, eg for part-time students).

To complete the course students must take, and pass by gaining a module mean of at least 50%, all the modules that together make up their 180 credits. Students who gain an overall APM of 60% or above will be awarded a Merit and those who gain an overall APM of 70% or above will be awarded a Distinction.

Some modules are compulsory; these are the ones that make up the British Psychological Society core syllabus and taking these is what makes students eligible for accreditation (GBC). There are, however, also some optional modules that students can select from to tailor a programme that reflects their individual interests.

The MSc Psychology Conversion structure is as follows:

Students must take all of the following compulsory modules:

Essential Psychology: Concepts and History
Psychological Research Methods 1: Design and Statistics
Psychological Research Methods 2: Qualitative Approaches
Social and Developmental Psychology
Physiological and Cognitive Psychology
The Psychology of Individual Differences
Psychology Dissertation

In addition to these six compulsory modules, students will take two optional modules each worth 10 credits. These optional modules will allow students to tailor the course to their own interests.
