For your degree to be accredited by the British Psychological Society students must meet the following requirements.

  • Students are required to take the following modules: (PS3021 or PS3023 or PS/PN3025), and (PS3022 or PS3024 or PS/PN4026), and PS/PN3031, and PS/PN3032, and PS/PN3033, and PS/PN3034, and (PS/PN3035 or PS/PN3036 or PS/PN3313), and (PS/PN3037 or PS/PN3038).
  • Students are required to pass one of the following modules: (PS/PN4050 or PS/PN4055 or PS/PN4056 or PS/PN4299 or PS/PN4796 or PS/PN4797).
  • Students must gain at least a Lower Second Class Honours degree.

BPS accreditation is both an important hallmark of quality that is extensively acknowledged by employers in the field, and an essential stepping-stone for students who are looking to progress to become a Chartered Psychologist after graduation. Taking a BPS accredited course is necessary if you wish to pursue a career in psychology or in the wider psychological workforce. Please note: due to potential timetable clashes, it may not be possible to gain accreditation for all joint degrees.
