I am looking at university courses in Psychology (I want a career in Psychology) and have been looking at the undergraduate Masters Degrees - MSci/MPsych - and was wondeering if there is any major difference between the MPsych qualification and the MSci qualification?
Also, which qualification MSci/MPsych or MSc is seen as better in terms of attainment and from an employers point of view, ie. which is more likely to lead to a job afterwards?

I'm a little confused. Are you going to apply with a degree, or are you applying from sixth for a four year degree? Most employers won't really care frankly out of either of those choices. The only difference might be between BA and BSci degrees, but the chances are it won't really affect the type of job you want to get. Applying for a four-year undergrad psychology course is a bit unusual though, although if you apply for a masters after graduating you don't get student loan support so it makes sense.
I was thinking of going straight from sixth form into the 4 year undergraduate Masters in Psychology - mainly as you said as it gives me the opportunity to get a Masters without having to self-fund. Thank you for your help☺️

MPsych and MSci are effectively the same thing but with different monikers.
It's much more cost effective doing a four year masters because you get the benefit of it being funded, which wouldn't be the case with a standalone MSc.

I'm also looking into psychology and want to go into clinical psychology. If I do Mpsych, what do i need to do after in order to become a psychologist?

ohhh right thank you! So the only advantage of Mpsych over BSC is that it is funded for all 4 years right? Is Mpsych somewhat harder or more competitive than doing a Bsc and masters separately?

Harder I don't think so as you're doing practically the same stuff. It may be more competitive though
Regardless of MSci/MSc, I believe in general, the degree should have a specialisation in Clinical Psychology since you intend to do Clinical. I do recognise this answer is 1 year late; but just in case it's still helpful.
I believe if the degree is accredited, you don't have to do any more degrees unless you want to do take take that step further and do your PHD to become a psychiatrist. The Mpsych is a fast track straight into becoming a clinical psychologist.
