Unlock the mind, enhance your knowledge of mental health, and transform your future career prospects with this innovative psychology conversion programme.
Studying psychology is all about understanding how people think, feel, and act. On this one-year conversion programme you'll deep dive into the science behind human behaviour and mental health. You’ll explore everything from social psychology and how we interact with others, to how our brain works, all with a focus on mental health. You'll learn from experts who are leading researchers and practitioners in their fields, giving you research opportunities to develop both your critical thinking and practical skills—whether it's collecting data, analysing results, or making case assessments and evaluations.
The culmination of your programme will be a dissertation completed over three months in the summer. This will be an in-depth research project where you can demonstrate the skills you’ve learned over the year. The dissertation topic will have a mental health component.
Our programme is a conversion course, and you will not need any prior knowledge of psychology to apply. At the end of the programme, you’ll have the skills necessary to start your career journey in any area of psychology, but you may be at an advantage when applying for careers with a mental health element.
The MSc Psychology and the MSc Psychology of Mental Health are similar programmes. The difference between them is that the MSc Psychology has a professional placement in the summer, but fewer modules dedicated to mental health, whereas the MSc Psychology of Mental Health has a mental health dissertation over the summer and specialist mental health modules. Those applicants who have little practical experience of psychology may prefer the MSc Psychology because of the placement in the summer, whereas those with an interest in mental health and who have already experienced mental health work in practice may prefer the MSc Psychology of Mental Health.
