Why choose this course?
• Develop the same grounding in psychological science as a three-year undergraduate course on this 100% online route

• The majority of your learning is asynchronous - this means that you can work through course content around any existing commitments you may have



• We evaluate your understanding via authentic assessments. This means that you will complete tasks that help develop your skills and knowledge, not just test your memory



Our fully online MSc Psychology (conversion) comprises a Master of Science programme that will provide you with Graduate Basis for Chartership with the British Psychological Society. This offers equivalent recognition to successfully completing a British Psychological Society accredited undergraduate psychology degree, which is an essential requirement to enable you to pursue a career in most recognised psychology professions.

The programme, which requires no prior knowledge of the subject, will provide you with a solid grounding across the breadth of psychology. As you start the programme you will be introduced to the foundational elements of social psychology, developmental psychology, cognitive psychology and biological psychology. You will also cover personality and individual differences, and alongside these core components you will develop both qualitative and quantitative research methods applied in psychology.
