Course Description

Psychology is all around us. It is a diverse and fascinating subject which offers a scientific insight into human behaviour and the mind.

Whether you are aiming to pursue a career as a psychologist or seeking to understand more about the mind and its influence on our behaviour and interactions, our BPS accredited MSc Psychology programme offers you a flexible approach to reaching that next step and achieving your goal. The programme is a psychology conversion course that provides students with non-psychology backgrounds broad grounding in psychological theory and research, and will equip you with the academic and practical skills sought by a wide range of employers.

You can complete the course full-time or part-time, either on our campus in Canterbury or through our online distance learning route from anywhere in the world. Throughout the programme we provide a high-level of academic support and content that will facilitate a stimulating and engaging learning experience.
