British Psychological Society (BPS) accreditation
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.
Study abroad
In the case of students who spend part of the Honours programme on a recognised Study Abroad scheme, the Programme Requirements will be amended to take into account overseas courses which are approved by the relevant St Andrews School in the Learning Agreement (see www.st-andrews.ac.uk/students/study-abroad/academic ).
