英國(guó)心理學(xué)的BPS認(rèn)證是最近很多想要去英國(guó)留學(xué)的同學(xué)關(guān)心的問(wèn)題。今天易致留學(xué)英國(guó)部劉老師帶你們了解一下什么叫做BPS?
British Psychological Society 認(rèn)證：(主要針對(duì)clinical的專業(yè))
英國(guó)的：受BPS認(rèn)證的課程——直接申請(qǐng)需要BPS認(rèn)證的研究生
海外的：The Society does not accredit any overseas qualifications(有些愛(ài)爾蘭的和香港的學(xué)校有認(rèn)證本科課程) so all applications from individuals with qualifications gained overseas are assessed individually to determine eligibility for Graduate Membership with the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). If you wish to beome a Chartered Member you must establish the GBC.
For Graduate Membership with the GBC the Society will consider the following:
Whether you hold a degree from a recognised university or comparable institution; and Whether your degree is at least of equivalent standard to a British Bachelor Lower Second Class Honours degree; and Whether your degree is at least fifty percent Psychology. This means that Psychology courses must comprise at least half of the studies which contributed to the award of your degree; and Whether the degree covers appropriate psychology areas.
例子：Bath-MSc Health Psychology
Academic requirements
1、First or 2:1 Honours degree (or equivalent) in psychology recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as providing Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC), from a recognised university.
2. Overseas students with equivalent qualifications must obtain GBC from the BPS
3、A minimum of two weeks (full-time) experience of working in health settings.
English Language requirements
Certificates must be dated to within two years of the start of the programme of study.
IELTS 7.0 (with not less than 7.0 in each of the four components)

如何申請(qǐng)GBC認(rèn)證：
不是只要BPS認(rèn)證就行了，必須同時(shí)又GBC， BPS membership alone does not allow you to apply for a clinical psychology course. You must also have GBC. This is because GBC requires a broader knowledge of psychology than BPS membership, and you need that broader knowledge as a basis for your clinical training and professional practice.
需要時(shí)間：Please contact the BPS for information on how to apply for membership and GBC. Membership/GBC applications can take some time to process (especially if references are needed from outside the UK) so you should apply as soon as possible, preferably before making your Clearing House application.If necessary you can submit your application without the BPS letter and then send us a copy of the letter when you receive it.
如果達(dá)不到要求：If your qualifications do not meet the requirements for GBC (or GBR) you will need to take a conversion course. The BPS has a list of conversion courses in the Careers, Education and Training section of their website
簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)BPS認(rèn)證主要是本科在英國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生，即使是中國(guó)本科學(xué)習(xí)心理學(xué)專業(yè)的學(xué)生也是很難申請(qǐng)的。這種情況就建議考慮帶有conversion course字樣的心理學(xué)專業(yè)啦。
