MSc Psychology of Education BPS

Programme overview
This British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited MSc conversion programme provides students with an excellent grounding in the psychology of education. It draws on a wide range of theories and methods from across the core areas of psychology and encourages students to interrogate their application to education and educational contexts. It is available on a full-time or part-time basis. After successfully completing the programme, you will be eligible to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) and further professional training accredited by the BPS.
Many students go on to careers in educational psychology, clinical psychology or neuropsychology, or engage in doctoral-level research. Entry to all of these is very competitive, but our MSc graduates have historically been very successful applying for EdD, DEdPsych, PhD and DClinPsy courses.
After completing the MSc programme, you will typically spend at least a year building up relevant experience, for example working with special needs pupils or with vulnerable clients, before making a successful application to a professional training programme.
