What can one do with an MsC in Psychology (Conversion)?

Hi all, hope you're well ✌️

I'm submitting my UCAS applications this year, with the intention of doing a BA in History & Politics. I'm still exploring career options and was wondering if becoming a clinical psychologist would be a viable option for me, considering my interest in the field. However, I don't meet the entry requirements for most Psychology courses in the UK as I did not take a science subject as a Higher Level IB subject.

I've looked into some MsC Psychology (Conversion) courses offered by UK universities, and was wondering what I could do with it 🤔 I understand that places in doctorate programmes for Clinical Psychology are very competitive. Would I nonetheless be an appealing candidate only having done an MsC (Conversion), especially compared to other candidates with a BsC as well? Could I viably aim for other careers in the realm of mental healthcare, like psychotherapy, with the Msc?

Thank you for reading! Any advice would be greatly appreciated :3
