Master of Science - Psychology (Conversion Award)

If students have little or no experience of psychology, this course will give them the essential knowledge, skills and experience needed for a first step towards a career in this exciting field.

Students will gain a comprehensive and critical understanding of cognitive, social, developmental and biological psychology, individual differences and conceptual and historical issues in psychology. In preparation for completing their dissertation, students will also develop the research skills necessary for designing and conducting quality research beyond that expected of graduates.

This course is relevant to graduates who have not studied psychology before, who have completed an undergraduate degree with a psychology component or who have undertaken an undergraduate psychology course not accredited by the BPS.
