This programme is primarily designed to meet the needs of those who are interested in psychology and in particular would like to pursue a career in psychology. To have a career in psychology, you must have an accredited undergraduate degree in psychology. It is possible for those who don’t have an accredited degree, but do have an honours degree already to do a psychology conversion course. Entry to those conversion courses, such as our MA in Psychology here in UL, require applicants to have studied 60-credits in psychology in their own degrees. If you don’t have the 60-credits, then this programme is suitable for you. On completion you get a 60-Credit diploma in Psychology (exit award is 30 credits) which makes you eligible to apply for most conversion course.
