Psychology Regent's University London

Overview

The Psychology (Conversion) course from Regent's University London enables you to fully understand – and contribute to – important conversations, and opens doors to a wide variety of career paths, as well as serving as the next step in your training to become a qualified psychologist.

You’ll examine how and when different approaches should be used and gain a scientific understanding of the human brain and central nervous system – learning how they react to techniques, behaviours, experiences and environments. You’ll also explore human development (identity, emotion social skills) and cognition (perception, attention, memory) before applying this knowledge to your own studies, discussions and debates – for example, whether it’s ethical to predict, and therefore potentially alter, human behaviour.

Careers

You’ll graduate ready to make a positive difference in people’s lives – with the deep industry knowledge, connections and transferable skills to apply to a wide range of careers: 

• Academia – research and/or teaching
• Clinical – working with clients who have mental health needs
• Counselling – working in hospitals, schools, prisons or private practice
• Educational – working with children and families

• Occupational – job selection, vocational training and industrial rehabilitation
