Overview

OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Psychology is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a 1 Year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Psychology often carries additional entry steps such as an interview, a health check or a criminal record check.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £5,950 a year.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
