Glad it was helpful! Yes, switching countries is always an option available, the pieces always come together eventually ;) and it's good to hear about other's experiences and thoughts!

Hi @ceren1695! If you study the DEdPsy (Doctorate in Educational Psychology), then you get to qualify as an EP :) If you study the DClinPsy (Doctorate in Clinical Psychology) then you get to qualify as a Clinical Psychologist. A phd is something different as it involves doing a 3-year (or more) research project (which could be funded), but doesn't qualify in any of the above. A doctorate, in the other hand, is about doing research as well, but also placements (depending on which type of doctorate, for example if it is the DEdPsy you'd be doing placements in schools/colleges) - it also takes 3 years (approx.) to complete.

Hi @Elisabeth-r7c! I searched through jobs.ac.uk, Indeed and LinkedIn! Just make sure it says 'part time' and also 'live-in'. Best of luck in your search!

Sure! You can do a Conversion Msc in Psychology like I did. My bachelors was in Business so this gives you the chance to change sectors, although it's not straightforward ;)

@ what do you mean by it’s not straight forward can you elaborate please ?and after MSc conversion psychology program do we become direct psychologist ?if not then what’s the process to become psychologist then ?and how much time does it take to become a psychologist by this process ?

@@useruser-gn7ok you can check my video on 'studying a career in psychology: an international perspective' th-cam.com/video/KJ1dlnoY078/w-d-xo.html. Hope it's useful! In a nutshell, studying an MSc is just the steppingstone or the first step if you want to be a practitioner psychologist. You then need to gain further work experience and training depending on the type of psychology route you're aiming at.

Hi @aryaajith5! Best of luck in your application for the Msc Conversion at UEL! Since you already have a background (Academic) in Psychology, it won't be something 100% new to study, as the conversion is a more 'broad' psych degree. It's important to note that to work in the NHS, you do not necessarily need to do a conversion! Depending on what role you would like to get in the NHS, you would or wouldn't need a conversion MSc. If you want, for example, a role as an AP (Assistant Psychologist) then you do need a conversion masters accredited by the BPS, but there's lots of other roles you can do to gain that relevant work experience (again, depending on the field you want to specialize afterwards). For this, you can check my video on 'Allied Psych Professions' I made :)

Hi @jiblyjably! That's actually a great question! It will be different in each country inside Europe as well, but in particular in the UK, the first step would be to gain a BPS Graduate membership, that is, to apply for it with your non-UK qualifications, so they can assess them and see if it is considered 'equivalent' to having studied psychology (as an undergrad/or conversion) here. If it is not, then you would need to do a conversion masters with BPS accreditation (which takes 1 year full time/2 years part time).

Glad it was useful! :)

Hi @catherinekothapally2959! If you plan on being a practitioner psychologist, then you would need a BPS accredited masters (or undergrad), which you can do at various universities across the UK. Feel free to watch my video on: Where can you study a Conversion Masters in Psychology in the UK?

Thank you and good luck with your application to your BSc in Psychology!

@@mypsychjourneyabroadare there jobs available around?

Hi! Do you mean a course based masters in Psychology, or which route would you be aiming at? If you want to apply for a BPS Graduate membership to continue your career in Psychology, you can do so with non-UK qualifications, and read more about it in the official website: www.bps.org.uk/graduate-membership-gmbpss, as your non-UK qualifications need to comply certain criteria. Hope this is useful!

Hi @anishaanisha2249! You can watch my video on The most common 'ALLIED' Psychology Professions in the UK! (Guide for Psych Graduates) here: th-cam.com/video/yB5zUgA5YI0/w-d-xo.html. Hope this is useful!

I'm glad it was useful!

You're welcome!

I'm glad it was useful! :)

Hi @Useryv777! Depending on which route you want to pursue :) If you want for example Clinical or Educational Psychology, then you would need to gain relevant work experience after the conversion, before applying to the DClinPsy/DEdPsy, respectively. You can work in allied psychology professions in between, also to see which role and sector resonates more with you!

Hi! Thanks for your question! You would first need to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), to be able to practice as an EP in the UK. The first step to do this is to complete the forms and pay the fee: www.hcpc-uk.org/globalassets/registration/application-forms/application-for-registration-international.pdf. You can read about the next steps in the official website: www.hcpc-uk.org/registration/getting-on-the-register/international-applications/ If you've read the criteria and decide you still don't have the necessary experience for registration with the HCPC (and thus practice as an EP here), then you can see if your MSc in Educational Psychology can count as a 'foundation' for further studies in the UK, that is, if it can be equivalent to having studied an undergrad in psychology, you can do so by applying for GBC (Graduate Basis for Chartered membership), and read the criteria in the official website: www.bps.org.uk/graduate-membership-gmbpss Hope this was useful! *Regarding the residency permit, that'll depend on which type of visa do you plan on applying to (student visa in case you're planning on doing further studies in the UK, or skilled worker visa in case you're planning on applying for jobs straightaway).

Thanks for this! I've included the updated link hopefully it's OK now?

You're welcome!

Hi! I don't know anyone who has studied there, but if I've read that most of their psychology courses are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). So if you're planning on pursuing a career as a Practitioner Psychologist, then I would consider it!

Hi @AyeshaBukhari-mb9lo! Yes! If it is BPS accredited, then you are eligible to apply to the DClinPsy (once ready). In between, you would need minimum 1 year of relevant experience in a clinical or clinically relevant research capacity though. But finishing a masters in health psychology is definitely off to a promising start!

Hi @othmanemeskini7819! You can go to the official website of the BPS here: portal.bps.org.uk/Accredited-Courses , and filter according to your criteria. On this video I only mention the full time courses available in London, but feel free to research the ones that are outside of London as well !

Hi @othmanemeskini7819! Congrats for almost finishing your bachelors! I just made a video listing the 14 universities offering a conversion Msc in Psychology in London, accredited by the BPS. Hope that helps you in your search!

@@mypsychjourneyabroad thx a lot ur videos are very useful plz keep posting

Hi! If you want to do so in the UK, you would first need to apply for the GBC (Graduate Basis for Chartered membership), and to do so, you would need to have studied a bachelors (or conversion masters) in psychology, which has been approved by the British Psychological Society as conferring eligibility for GBC. After that, gaining 1 relevant work experience with children and young people (minimum), and then, applying to the DEdPsy (Doctorate in Educational Psychology).

Hi @onyi2048! You can find these and many other types of roles, including salary ranges, in websites like: www.charityjob.co.uk/. But, typically, the salary range might vary between 28-35K, depending on previous experience/skills/and the type of role you're applying.

Thanks for your comment Jim! In the UK it works the same way as well, professions like Clinical Psychology, Educational Psychology, Counselling, Health Psychology, and some others, also require a doctorate of 3 years in order to use that title. Others that don't require a doctorate (like business psychology) do not use the title of 'Psychologists' to work in these areas, although they are still considered part of the core professions in psychology in the UK.

Hi @itsmemerlin8554! You can see my video regarding 'Where can a Conversion Masters in Psychology lead you to' for more info on that :) Hope its helpful!
