Career Shift (Linguistics to Psychology)

Hi, I hope everyone is doing well. Is there anyone out there who has shifted from any career to Psychology by doing a conversion a degree?
I am a non-UK individual with MA Linguistics degree and want to shift towards Psychology (practice and not academic research) in the UK. Someone suggested a Psychology conversion degree but I want to know whether it really works? Because I have heard that conversion degrees aren't really significant in career prospects. Thanks.

Hi,
The main purpose of a Psychology Conversion Degree is so you can become accredited by the British Psychological Society. The BPS accreditation is necessary if you wish to work anywhere in psychology so will be needed for you to practice psychology.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for clarifying. Do I need another masters after the conversion degree?

No, but you will need significant experience if you want to go down the practitioner psychologist route (clin, ed or counselling). Just ensure you are aware of any residency rules around these routes if you are not a UK national. There are lots of other roles in psychology aside from the above so make sure you really explore your options.
