This online MSc Psychology conversion course is designed for anyone passionate about understanding human behaviour or looking to start a career in psychology. As a conversion course, most students are new to the subject, so the programme begins with core Research Methods to build skills and confidence before progressing to more advanced assessments. Successful completion of the course grants eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), which is often a pre-requisite for further training as a professional psychologist. It also means that you can apply to be a graduate member with the British Psychological Society (BPS), which grants access to the post-nominal letters GMBPsS.
You’ll develop the research skills modern psychologists need. From day one, you’ll explore both quantitative and qualitative methods using practices that reflect how research is carried out in psychology today.
On the course, you’ll study the human lifespan, mental health, brain-behaviour links, and current debates in personality and intelligence research. You’ll benefit from the experience of our academic staff in a collaborative, international learning environment, gaining real-world insight through opportunities such as volunteer research assistant opportunities, student conferences, guest speakers, professional interest groups, employability events, and more.
Earning your MSc Psychology online with Arden gives you control over your studies without the need to relocate. Our tutors use a mix of lectures, online tutorials, and self-directed learning to bring the full university experience to you wherever you are.
This degree prepares you to apply psychological concepts in careers such as human resource management, teaching, counselling, and beyond. After your first study block, we will submit your application for BPS Student Membership and cover the cost for the rest of your MSc if accepted, subject to BPS terms of membership. If you prefer not to be automatically enrolled with BPS, please let us know before the end of your first study block.
