Additional information

Special Features The MSc Psychological Sciences conversion course will provide a Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) in Psychology, as conferred by the British Psychological Society (BPS). This is an entry requirement for all postgraduate training programmes leading to chartered status and the vast majority of postgraduate programmes accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) for registration as a practitioner psychologist. There is a focus during the programme on developing students' sound knowledge of research methods and statistics - highly desirable skills in many areas of potential employment and so fundamental to the value added by the degree. A wide range of options are available for students to pursue their own particular research interests (culminating in the dissertation) within the discipline. Accreditation The BSc Psychological Sciences programme at Brunel is accredited by The British Psychological Society.
