BPS Psychology

Hii, Looking for a little help. I completed my BSc psychology outside UK and now i'm looking for my Masters in the UK but most of the universities are not providing an BPS accredited degree. What do I do next? If I get an accreditation done, what possible opportunities will I get?

You should first contact the BPS to find out if the BSc degree you did would make you eligible for graduate basis for chartership (GBC) with them (i.e., if it is equivalent to a BPS-accredited psychology degree). If it is, your MSc wouldn't necessarily need to be accredited by the BPS, unless it acts as step one in certain professional training routes (e.g., forensic psychology). If you would not be eligible for GBC, you would need to complete an MSc Psychology Conversion course that is accredited by the BPS. Without this, you would not be able to practice as, say, a Clinical Psychologist, or in other applied psychology roles, within the UK.

Hi nerol,
I just read some of your comments on different forums and it occurred to me if you can help me.
I have a psychology bachelor degree from Iran and now I have several offers for Msc health psychology programs ( accredited by bps). Also, my bachelor’s degree is approved by bps ( having graduate membership).
I’m actually a little worried about the course.
I wonder if I can work as an assistant psychologist or clinical psychologist after graduation? ( There was no accredited clinical course for masters) .
I mean what are my options? I’m a little confused regarding these rules in uk.
My main concern is that would I be able to find proper work in the health psychology field ? and also other psychology subjects?

I really appreciate if you could help me.
Thank you in advance for your time 🙏🏻
