Program description
This MSc conversion programme is appropriate for graduates who want to establish a career in psychology by acquiring Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS, especially if you hold a non-psychology related degree but now want to study psychology at master's level. After graduation, you'll be eligible for BPS membership, a symbol of your achievement and a requirement if you wish to become a professional psychologist.
You may take charge of your education and avoid moving to pursue your degree if you pursue your psychology master's online with Arden. Our instructors bring the whole university experience to you, wherever you are, by using a variety of instructional techniques, including lectures, online tutorials, and self-directed learning.
Therefore, this course will give you the BPS accreditation you need along with important transferrable skills in the humanities and social sciences that will give you a competitive edge in the workplace, whether you're looking to start a career as a professional psychologist or want to apply psychological concepts in careers like human resource management, teaching, or counseling.
