Msc Psychology/Msc Psychology of Mental Health and wellbeing University of Wolverhamp

Hi everyone,

I hope I'm posting this at the right place! I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience with the online master’s programs at the University of Wolverhampton, specifically the MSc Psychology or MSc Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing. I completed my undergraduate studies five years ago in an unrelated field, but I’ve recently discovered a passion for counseling psychology.

My main questions are:

Degree Suitability: Between these two programs, which one might be better suited for my goal of becoming a counseling therapist?

University Reputation: How is the University of Wolverhampton regarded for psychology programs? Is it prestigious enough that having this degree on my CV would be a strong asset for job applications?

Career Transition: As someone coming from a non-psychology background with no previous experience in the field, is this program suitable for me?

Accreditation: While I see the course is BPS-accredited, is it also accredited by BHCP or HCPC? Would graduating from this program qualify me to work as a counseling therapist in the UK? (I don’t plan to move to the UK, but if this degree enables me to work as a counseling therapist there, I feel confident it would be valuable in my country as well.)

Future Pathways: Am I correct in thinking that starting as a counseling therapist could allow me to eventually move into clinical therapy if I pursue further studies?
