Psychology conversion masters

I am considering studying for a Psychology conversion masters with the hope of going on to complete a PhD.

My background is BSc science, 2.1 which should be enough to get me accepted onto the programme.

My question is, if I do well in the conversion programme, will Universities see that as enough to accept me onto a PhD (psychology) or will I need further study? I don't think I could afford 2 masters.

Has anyone here completed this conversion programme and gone straight onto a PhD? I'd be grateful for some advice and sharing of experience to help me make an informed decision.

Thanks!

Hi, I did the MSc Psychology conversion at Arden University a few years back, it is fully accredited by the BPS, and there is a 100% online option which was great for me as I have been teaching for 10 years.

You do not need to do an MSc in order to get onto a PhD course, experience in the field is very important, although an MSc could nudge you ahead some of the competition at the application stage.
