What you will study

This programme is specifically designed for graduates who have not previously taken a psychology degree. You will be able to study at a Russell Group university and obtain a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Psychology degree and gain Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS that will allow you to work as a psychologist in a variety of different fields (e.g, education, clinical, forensic, organisational).

Career pathways

This programme is specifically designed to enable students with a non-psychology background to pursue a psychology-based career, many of which require a BPS-accredited degree for further training. This degree will therefore help prepare graduates for a subsequent career in, for example, clinical psychology, educational psychology, organisational and occupational psychology, and forensic psychology.
