Can I still study in the UK if my Bsc in Psychology degree is non-BPS accredited?

Hi,
I am currently enrolled in a BSc Psychology online programme by University of London with academic direction by King’s College London, at a recognised teaching centre in my country which is approved by UoL. Even though my degree is recognized, I found out that it is not BPS accredited. Would I be able to pursue my higher studies in the UK if I was planning on doing something related to Early Childhood Education?

What do you mean?
It depends on the courses you're applying to. A good marker could be whether they consider people with non-psychology undergrads, who obviously won't be BPS accredited. So eg the MSc I did was run by the psychology department but had a couple of people who'd studied education. If you want to do eg the clinical or educational psychology doctorates though they'll be a lot stricter.

If you're not sure from the admissions criteria on the websites, contact the unis you're considering and ask. The worst they can say is no, and at least then you've not wasted your time applying! You could also talk to your tutors where you currently are to see if they have any advice.
