Paramedic to Psychology

I'm taking a vocational course on being a paramedic but I plan on studying Psychology on the long run. Will my paramedic degree be appropriate to study psychology?

Having a degree in Paramedic Science (which is what I assume you mean by your "paramedic degree") won't stop you studying Psychology afterwards, although it you want to study Psychology it's not clear why you would want to do a paramedic degree first. Will you be self-funding your second degree?

It sounds like the best option might be a Psychology conversion course. This is for those who already have an undergraduate degree, but not in Psychology. They tend to come in the form of a Master's degree. (Note that to be a practicing Psychologist, you would need another postgraduate degree after the Psychology conversion course too.)
