As an interdisciplinary discipline, psychology is integrated with education, science, engineering, philosophy, management, economics and medicine to a certain extent. In today's society, psychology is applied in many industries and plays an important role in different positions.
In the 2023 QS Psychology Rankings, three UK institutions are in the world's top 10: the University of Oxford (2), the University of Cambridge (3) and University College London (5). In addition to these three universities, there are 15 universities in the UK that are ranked in the top 100 in the world for psychology.
Many of the UK universities in the above rankings offer master's degree programmes in psychology conversion (regardless of the applicant's undergraduate major), which is very friendly to students who do not have a psychology background.
Next, let's introduce the master's programs in psychology of prestigious universities in the UK and the application requirements for 24fall.
