Program overview
A one year conversion master in psychology, covering cognitive, developmental, social and biological psychology, research methods, statistics and a research dissertation.
This is the third and last Bath Spa course that refuses Duolingo, and it asks 60 percent where 256 of the 258 ask 50.
Master of Science in Psychology, Conversion is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the psychology conversion master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the psychology conversion master, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the psychology conversion master plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the psychology conversion master does not support a family move.
Admission to Master of Science in Psychology, Conversion requires a completed bachelor degree at 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with 6.0 in every band, and tuition for the psychology conversion master is recorded at GBP 17,485. Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the psychology conversion master. The psychology conversion master lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the psychology conversion master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
