Kingston University's psychology team conducts internationally excellent research and has links with universities in the USA and Europe. Eminent psychologists regularly present their findings. Students will gain a broad understanding of psychology, learning to critically appraise psychological models, theories and methodologies. Teaching is in small groups and seminars, with practical research exercises and access to high quality laboratories. Through a dissertation, students will research an area of interest. They will also take an optional Level 6 module in one of a variety of psychology specialisms.
The Psychology MSc is a conversion course for graduates from disciplines other than psychology who wish to gain GBC (Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership). This is the first step for those who wish to work as a chartered psychologist in the UK. GBC ensures that a student has sufficient knowledge, understanding and experience of academic psychology before they apply for postgraduate professional training in areas such as clinical, occupational, educational or counselling psychology.
The MSc Psychology is also appropriate for psychology graduates who want to pursue postgraduate professional training in psychology, but whose undergraduate degree is not accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
Many graduates continue their training and eventually become chartered psychologists. Careers include clinical, forensic, educational and occupational psychology, social work, counselling and teaching.
