Professional Psychologist Training

It takes a long time to become a Psychologist and training places are fairly limited so you will need a good A Level profile and a good initial Psychology degree.  

How to become a Psychologist 

• Complete a degree course that is accredited by the British Psychological Society. A full list of these degrees can be found on the British Psychological Society's website. www.bps.org. Make sure that the degree awards graduates with the Graduate Basis for Registration (GBR).

• After completing your initial Psychology degree you would then pursue society accredited postgraduate training specialising in your chosen area of psychology. This would take a minimum of 3 years.
