Master of Science in Psychology (Conversion) University of Bolton, UK

If you're looking to pursue a psychology-related career or further professional training in psychology and your first degree is not a psychology degree, but in an area related to psychology, the University of Bolton's highly regarded conversion course is ideal. Maybe you're considering a future in educational, occupational or clinical psychology, but don't have enough credits in psychology at the undergraduate level. Or perhaps your psychology degree didn't come with eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartership of the British Psychological Society. Either way, this course is a great solution as the first step towards your career as a psychologist.

The programme modules cover specific areas of psychology equivalent to those in the British Psychological Society's qualification exam and will give you an opportunity to achieve a firm understanding of psychological theories, approaches and research methods.
