Nottingham Trent University's British Psychological Society (BPS) conversion courses are designed for graduates of other disciplines who wish to pursue a career in psychology but whose first degree is not recognized by the BPS. Entry on to the MSc Psychology does not require students to have studied any psychology previously.
This course attracts a range of students including those who have recently completed an undergraduate degree in a subject other than psychology or a non-accredited degree and also applicants who have come from jobs in the public and private sector, who are looking for a career change. Successful completion of the course provides graduates in other disciplines with a route to becoming a professional psychologist. MSc Psychology is a 180-credit qualification which requires no previous experience or study of psychology.
Psychology is the systematic study of behavior and experience. As a discipline it is wide-ranging and overlaps with both biological sciences, such as neurology, physiology and genetics, and with social sciences such as sociology and anthropology. The course curriculum covers all of the core knowledge areas within psychology and will also deepen students' range of quantitative and qualitative research skills and methods, culminating in an independent research project.
