MSc Psychology (Conversion) is an innovative online course that provides graduates from any discipline with a mechanism for gaining Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society. This status is necessary if you wish to pursue a career as a professional psychologist (e.g., a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology or an MSc in Health Psychology), as well as academic or research careers.

In addition to covering up-to-date knowledge of the core areas of psychology, the course is designed to provide industry-relevant experience through our close partnerships with external organisations, such as Linc Cymru. Throughout your studies you will design evidence-based solutions to currently unsolved challenges faced by our partners, test these solutions empirically in your final year dissertations, and present your conclusions back to our partners.

The MSc Psychology (Conversion) course offers students much more than a GBC. Learning is contextualised in diverse and relevant real-life situations, supporting you in gaining a deeper appreciation of the role that psychology can play in positively transforming society. Professional skills and experience will be acquired to facilitate employment opportunities within the relevant fields of psychology.
