Which course is for me?
BSc (Hons) Psychology (BPS)
This bachelor’s degree is designed for those who want to start their journey towards a career in the psychology profession. The course will introduce you to, and develop your understanding of the relationship between the mind, brain, and behaviour, and how this has an effect on society as a whole.
MSc Psychology (BPS)
This psychology master’s degree gives you the skills you need to pursue a career as a professional psychologist, or build on your existing knowledge to advance your career. This is also a psychology conversion course, which means you do not need to have a bachelor's degree in psychology to enrol on the programme.
The reason why I chose Arden University for my bachelor psychology studies were the possibilities of flexible learning and using the English language.
