PGDip Psychology in Nottingham United Kingdom | Nottingham Trent University

Our British Psychological Society (BPS) conversion programs cater to graduates from non-psychology backgrounds who aspire to enter the psychology field but hold degrees not recognized by the BPS. The MSc Psychology program welcomes applicants without any prior psychology education.

This program draws diverse participants, including recent graduates from non-psychology disciplines or non-accredited degrees, as well as professionals seeking career transitions from various sectors. Upon completion, graduates gain a pathway to professional psychology practice. The 180-credit MSc requires no psychology background, while the 120-credit PGDip mandates 60 prior psychology credits.

PGDip and MSc students share classes initially, with MSc candidates taking extra modules from term two onward. This structure allows seamless transfers between programs during the first term, provided entry requirements are met for both.

Both qualifications grant Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the BPS - the essential foundation for pursuing chartered psychologist status and advanced professional training. Psychology systematically examines behavior and experience, bridging biological sciences like neurology and genetics with social sciences including sociology and anthropology.

The program offers specialized, supportive instruction tailored to conversion students' unique needs while fostering a strong sense of community among participants
