    Psychology - Future Careers
    I'm trying to decide between Education (Psychology) at Cardiff which is accredited by BPS or doing a Joint Honors of Psychology and Sociology at Newcastle which isn't accredited).
    I've had a look at a couple of post grad courses to do a Masters/Doctorate in Clinical or Education Psychology and some require a Psychology or equivalent degree, can anyone tell me what is the better option? I'd like to leave as many options open as both have achievable entry requirements but I don't want to do Education if it won't get me anywhere is the future with regards to Psychology.
    Thanks

    if you want to train to be some kind of psychologist, you need either an accredited degree, or you need to do a conversion course

    ALWAYS do an accrediited course!!! Its just safer that way! As Interrobang said, to train and work as a psychologist you will need to start with this....conversion courses are available but why add extra work/courses onto an already huge list of stuff you need to do
