Study Psychology with the experts in London

The University of East London was one of the very first in the world to launch MSc courses in coaching Psychology and Applied Positive Psychology, both of which have been running with huge success for eight years.


Now we are breaking new ground by creating a unique synthesis of the two elements in what is the first MSc course of its kind in the world.

It fully integrates positive psychology and coaching psychology to create an innovative training programme for those promoting wellbeing

This one-year full-time (or two years part-time) course bridges the gap between BSc Psychology and doctoral-level training.

It is aimed at those who have had at least some experience in psychology services who want to go on to train as a researcher, therapist or clinical, counselling or educational psychologist.

You need not  have a first degree in psychology but your training and experience must be in a related area and demonstrate a suitable career trajectory.

This is a conversion course for students with a first degree in another subject area. It means you could go on and train to be a professional psychologist – for example, by studying for a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

You may, however, simply want to study this course because you are interested in the subject, in which case you will return to your career enriched with knowledge of human behaviour.

A concentrated lecture schedule – Wednesday afternoon and evening for those studying full-time, Wednesday evenings for those doing the course part-time – means you can combine the study with your current commitments.
