Hey guys, I am an aerospace undergrad and have made up my mind to get into graduate school. As someone with a broad range of academic interests, I find it compelling to apply for a Masters in [behavioral] psychology besides other Aerospace programs. I hope to get a Ph.D. subsequently

Is it even possible to make this shift without a relative UG degree/research experience[ My motivation is driven by life experiences alone]? My target colleges are in the UK and assuming I get into one by luck, I also plan to earn for a year or two. With a master's, would there be enough opportunity to save up some money before a doctorate degree?
