MSc Psychology Conversion

The MSc Psychology (Conversion) at London Metropolitan University is for students with a non-psychology degree. It brings students up to the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS). The course covers core areas like cognition, social psychology, psychobiology, individual differences, developmental psychology, and research methods.

The programme follows BPS rules, so graduates can go on to further training in fields such as clinical, forensic, educational, or occupational psychology. Students will learn how to apply psychological knowledge to real-life issues. This includes understanding behaviour, mental health, and how people think and act.

The programme provides the skills needed to analyse data, plan studies, and evaluate psychological evidence. Teaching on this programme combines lectures, seminars, workshops, and independent study. Practical workshops give students hands-on experience with psychological tools, experiments, and research methods. Assessment is done through coursework, exams, reports, and a research dissertation.
