Accreditation by the British Psychological Society makes the BSc (Hons) Psychology with Foundation Year a strong option in south-east London. Graduates who meet the honours and final-year empirical project criteria may be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, the usual first step towards further psychology training. Modules range from cognitive psychology and neuroscience to developmental and social psychology. A foundation year comes first, giving adults returning to education a supported start. Teaching is at the Greenwich campus in London, with full-time weekday study listed. It is a campus-based route rather than online-only study. AF Education offers UK home students free support with applications and Student Finance England.

Who this course is for
This suits mature students and career changers who want an accredited psychology degree in London and need a preparatory year first. It is useful if you may later train as a psychologist.
Entry routes for mature students
Indicative requirements for the foundation (Year Zero) stage are five GCSEs at grades A*–C. Each application is assessed individually, and AF Education will confirm the evidence needed for UK home applicants.

How often you study
Full-time weekday study is listed at the Greenwich campus in London. Most courses AF Education supports need 1 to 2 campus days a week, leaving time for work. Confirm your timetable before you enrol.
Career and progression
GBC eligibility is a first step towards postgraduate training in areas such as clinical, counselling or occupational psychology; it is not chartered status itself. Graduates may also consider research, support or people-focused roles. AF Education does not guarantee jobs or training places.
