MSc Psychology Conversion

... United Kingdom
... University of the Highlands & Islands

Course Overview

This British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited online course will provide you with a broad and critical awareness of psychological theory and practice. Throughout the course, you will develop an understanding of what drives people's behavior, why we are unique, and in what ways we are the same. You will explore the theories which explain human behavior and how they are relevant in today's society.

You will examine the core fields of psychology, including biological, individual differences, cognitive, social, and developmental psychology, as set out by the British Psychological Society. Learning in these core domains will be supported by an exploration of research methods.

Alongside acquiring the key concepts and core knowledge of psychology, you will build strong project management, analytical (including statistical analysis), and report-writing skills. Your learning experience will culminate in a substantial research project/dissertation, for which you will have support from your supervisor.

On successful completion of the program, you will be eligible to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS. This allows you to apply for further masters-level study in specialized vocational areas of psychology.

The majority of the course is online, with a schedule of weekly activities which can be completed in your own time. There is a one-day virtual induction at the end of August and a 4-day residential program in Inverness in late March. Attendance at these two elements is compulsory to be eligible for BPS registration upon graduation.

Special features

  • The course is mainly delivered online, which means you can fit your studies around your work and personal commitments wherever you are, except for the induction and residential elements

  • The written Learning Resources are supplemented by online discussions and weekly tutorials, which help to reinforce your understanding of topics. You should allow time to take part in these regularly
