I am due to graduate next year with an undergraduate degree in child and adolescent mental health. It is not BPS accredited.
I have considered doing the PGDip Education Mental Health Practitioner programme which is BPS accredited.
My long term career goal, however, is to become an Educational Psychologist. 'To be considered for a place on a doctorate training course you must have a first degree (i.e. a BA or BSc or equivalent qualification) in psychology which has been accredited, or is recognised, by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as giving eligibility for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS (GBC). If your first degree is not in psychology, you may be able to undertake an approved 'conversion course' that will give you eligibility for GBC. Alternatively, you could read for a psychology-based Masters degree.' - Taken from Association of Educational Psychologists website.
Any ideas if the EMHP counts as a BPS accredited course which will make me eligible for a doctorate programme in Educational Psychology? Or will I need to do a conversion or Masters?
Thanks in advance
