Is there a university that will let me do my MSc without a BSc?

Hi all! I want to do my psychology degree but is there any uni I can do a MSc in psychology without doing a BSc first? If I have work experience before and got high grades in my A levels will there be an option to get straight onto my MSc? If so please tell me which uni allows it! Many thanks.

Do you have any undergraduate degree right now, even if it's not in Psychology? If you do, then yes. If you don't, then no.

So just any undergraduate degree could work for getting me into my MSc?

Hey most cases you would need to do a Bsc! It's important to look into whatever your going into and see what universities require of you! But what I'm aware of most likely you'll have to do a Bsc for psychology as well as have work experience of minimum one yr for some unis in order to progress to MSc. From what I know most unis want a Bsc in psychology regardless of A level grades to do the MSc.
Hope this helps :smile:

Yes any degree with a minimum grade of 2:2 for unis some r 2:1 will allow u to do a MSc in psychology but again do the research of the unis your interested in go get further information.

Yes. There are MSc Psychology degrees specifically designed for those who wish to pursue a career in Psychology, but have an undergraduate degree in a different discipline.

Just search for psychology master's conversion; you'll find loads of such courses. Alternatively, see the list of such courses - most of which are Master's degrees - here (pick Conversion Programmes from the Programmes drop-down list).

I strongly suspect not, why would people bother with 3-4 years of a degree & debt if they could just competently jump to the 1 year Msc ahead of it? The level of work would likely just kick the **** out of you and there would be no sympathy or relative downtime such as 1st year degree students get.

When some places say they make exceptions for work etc, I think they mean years at a suitable level, not someone who is just finishing school. When I was applying to be a profession member of a chartered institute they tallied my years work exp and qualifications and v roughly 2 years work = 1 years study, so to compensate for a 3-4 year degree they'd be really wanting to see 6-8 years suitable work.
