Real experiences, real impact

I think this psychology conversion course really opens a lot of doors and you have access to a lot of different occupations.

I took this course to combine my IT knowledge and experience with my people management experience. Additionally, it allows me to use psychology and AI together.

The programme allows you to meet the BPS' core competencies so you can move forward and specialise as you see fit. One of the biggest challenges for me was the dissertation. That was a great skill to learn. I love the opportunity to engage with my research participants, and I know a lot of those skills will come in handy.

The online platform was very easy to use. I always had someone I could message and someone I could reach out to for support. Everyone was very friendly and supportive. They always had the right information at the right time, so it was an overall great experience.

I was teaching and working at the same time. I think I certainly had the benefit of being able to do the calls from wherever I was. I didn’t have to be in lectures, I could work alongside it because I didn’t have certain times. There were live sessions, but they were always recorded if I couldn’t make it. I found it really easy to fit around my lifestyle, work and children.

I'm not going to tell you it was easy. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. The course is put together in such a clever way that you don't have time to stop and think, you just get on with it. All the tutors were absolutely always supportive and pushed us forward when we needed to be.

I found the programme really beneficial. It was great and everyone was so helpful. Everything was easy to access. The online e-vision and the portal, so easy to use. Really user friendly, and I'm not great with computers at all. The academic staff were great. Any email was answered within a day or two. All questions were pretty much put to rest - there were no concerns.
