    Hi
    I have completed a conversion course myself in England. I had studied psychology before so it was'nt too bad.


    Often the requirements of courses are that you have at least 60 credits of psychology from previous learning. In my class people who didnt have psychology before had completed the Open University course to gain these credits. Thats what I would recommend first.

    As it is a post-graduate course, funding is fairly non-exsistent. I was self-funded for the year but you might get lucky
    The BPS webiste also has a list of accredited conversion courses in the UK
