Yes, it may be possible if you have sufficient academic background in psychology. Universities generally evaluate whether your previous education includes enough psychology-related coursework, research exposure, dissertation work, or academic preparation. Additionally if you have a strong academic scores and if your master’s included psychology specialization and research exposure, you may still be eligible despite having English literature in your academic background.
