Thanks for this! I’ve been teaching and working self-employed for 5 years in mental health and trauma recovery - just got an unconditional offer for a Masters in Psychology (to convert) and now looking at the pathway for a PhD for EdPsy work! This is really helpful. Good luck on your journey ❤
You're super inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing about your journey of becoming an educational psychologist! I am currently applying for Msc psychology conversion in the UK as well. Just waiting for the admission from the universities. I haven't decided if I want to take a path of educational or occupational yet but your insights have been really helpful to think about. All the best for you! 🥰
Hi. I just watched your video. Thank you for the insights. I have done my Bachelors in Psychology and I am doing Masters in Applied Psychology conversion course in Teesside University, England which is accredited by BPS and GBC. I am currently working as Class room assistant and cover supervisor in schools and tuition centres. I really want to go in either Clinical psychology field or educational psychology which I am not sure yet. So just wanted to ask as an international student studying masters in the UK will I still be able to get fully funded doctorate in the UK? If yes please guide me through and even if you know any details about clinical field please let me know. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for this video. I am thinking of enrolling for educational psychology masters at Cardiff metropolitan university. I have a bachelor of Education from India and have worked as a middle school teacher for 2 yrs. Could you please let me know if i complete the masters , will i be eligible for the HCPC registration after the course and what would be the scope for me as a EP? Thanks in advance
Hello, thanks for sharing this video!!! I am doing my Msc in Educational psychology in India. Could you guide me how can i become an educational psychologist in uk? What are the requirements? And about the residency permit. Thank 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).
Hello, thank you for this video! I had one doubt though. I am from India and I have received offers from a few universities for MSc in Educational Psychology. I am planning on doing a Ph.D. After that But I am not sure about the UK residency part. Could you please guide me through this? What needs to be done to get a permit to work in the UK after master's for international students ? How to go about it? Thank you !
Hello! Thank you for your question and congrats for getting those offers ! So a PHD is different than a doctorate. A PHD is mainly theoretical and research-oriented, and you don't need to do one to become a Qualified EP, but what you do need (at least in the UK) is a doctorate , which is a 3-year programme meant to be more practical (with work placements, 2 per year, 6 in total) and you will also be doing research but in order to apply it to specific professional settings. So if you get an unconditional offer to do an MSc in Educational Psychology, you can work, whilst studying (that is, with your student visa) for up to 20 hours per week (if your masters is full time), and once your course is finished, you have 2 routes: get a sponsored role, or get the postgraduate visa that allows you to work with no sponsorship (there are actually other options like starting your own business and getting a start-up visa or so, which you can check in my video called 'Pathways after graduation'!), but if you mainly want to work for an employer after completing your masters then the 2 most common routes are those (i.e.., getting a sponsorship or getting the post-grad visa and working without the need of a sponsorship :) Hope I answered your question
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).
Thanks for this! I was wondering if trainees get paid during their work experience along side doctorate studying course or is it only paid after becoming an educational psychologist? I am from a different country and in here, trainees and interns especially in psychology are not paid at all.
Hello! if they comply certain pre-requisites before starting the course that are mainly related to their nationality/residency status! You can read more about these pre-requisites in the official website: www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies
