MSc Psychology (Conversion) at Leeds Trinity University

This is an MSc Psychology (Conversion) programme, not an MSc Psychology programme. As such, this course is aimed primarily at non-Psychology graduates who wish to undertake further training as a Psychologist, but do not wish to undertake a second undergraduate degree. Effectively, you will be undertaking one half of an undergraduate Psychology degree in one third of the time, and for one third of the cost, before graduating with an MSc Psychology (Conversion) degree.
