If I already have a degree in English literature is it essential to have a BA in psychology to do a masters in psychology with a view to doing a doctorate?
No, you can have a Masters in any field you choose, although some in sciences may require you to complete a set of prerequisites. I assume the diploma for the English degree you have is a BA. Different institutions have different requirements, you should contact the institution you like to find out what there requirements are, you can find program and departmental requirement on the school's website I assume. Different graduate schools have different emphases for their doctorate degrees. APA approved programs generally look for some Biology, some calculus, some statistics and quite a few psychology credits among your undergraduate courses. Some programs prefer to provide all the post-graduate classes themselves, rather than accept someone from a different Masters program. (I had a B.A. in Philosophy and over two years in English Lit. I got an M.A. in Psychology as well, but had to repeat many comparable courses once in my Ph.D. program). Contacting particular professors of interest in your target schools can provide a cursory way to become known and afford you the benefit of knowing what would increase your chances for admission.
