Looking for a BPS accredited Psychology Conversion MSc
Hi! Anyone knows any good unis for pursuing a Psychology Conversion post-graduate program, ideally starting October 2023-January 2024? I'm particularly keen on it having a clinical and/or counselling focus. Can be either online or on campus.
I initially had Wolverhampton uni as my top choice, however, I quickly realised it isn't as reliable as it claims to be. Any advice/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Strictly speaking, counselling is different to psychology degrees. Counselling and psychotherapy degrees don't generally require you to have an undergrad in a specific subject. Psychology postgrads do, hence the conversion course.
The conversion courses generally don't allow you specialise in clinical psychology or counselling (i.e. I can't find an accredited one that does), and you normally can do the degree with a counselling or clinical psychology focus in your master's or doctorate. There are a number of these in the BPS search engine: https://portal.bps.org.uk/Accredited-Courses.

The key thing is the BPS accreditation, as an addition check out a Universities QAA Report (a bit like Ofsted) and their Teaching Excellence Framework Report - both readily available online
I did my conversion course at Arden University and had a great time, there are several start dates, and there is a mix of blended learning and 100% online options
