Based within one of the largest centres for teacher education and training in the UK, the MSc in Psychology in Education looks in-depth at how psychology theory and research can be applied to a greater understanding of psychology in educational contexts.
This British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited Psychology conversion course offers the opportunity of Graduate Basis for Chartered membership (GBC) to those who do not currently hold it (essential for pursuing a future career in psychology). No prior study of psychology is required.
This intensive postgraduate degree will interest anyone who is new to studying psychology or who wishes to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the application of psychology to education. This includes individuals who already have an accredited psychology degree because of its applied focus and opportunity for further work experience, both relevant to pursuing professional training. For these students, whilst some of the theoretical content may feel familiar, its application to educational contexts will prove new and challenging.
Applicants should usually have a first or upper second-class Honours degree or equivalent, in any subject.
Each applicant is considered on their academic merits and their ability to demonstrate an interest and ability in the subject area. For example:
Applicants who hold Graduate membership of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS) will be considered with a lower second-class Honours degree or equivalent.
Applicants who have successfully completed postgraduate study will be considered if their first Honours degree is below an upper second-class or equivalent.
A range of bursaries, scholarships, loans and grants are available. Please visit website to find out more.
This MSc is a conversion course which provides Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society (BPS). It requires no prior knowledge of psychology. It may be studied out of interest or intellectual curiosity about psychology and education, or for reasons of continued professional development and career enhancement. It is also ideal if you want to pursue a career in psychology but either did not study psychology at undergraduate level or studied psychology on a non-accredited programme.
GBC is a prerequisite for professional training programmes in psychology which lead to full Chartered Psychologist status and occupations in such areas as Educational, Clinical, Occupational, Health and Counselling Psychology. This MSc does not guarantee entry onto the necessary professional training programme.
This MSc also opens up a range of careers where an understanding of human behaviour or research methods is relevant. The knowledge and skills you will obtain are highly desired by employers within education, mental healthcare, youth and family work, therapy, social work, management and research. The research and independent learning skills you acquire on this course would also be a good preparation for further study, for example PhD.
