British Psychological Society accreditation

Psychology degrees at University College Birmingham are accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), the leading professional association in the field.

Having BPS accreditation is the gold standard in psychology.

It means that if you graduate with a BPS-accredited undergraduate degree or postgraduate conversion course, you are automatically eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the society.

It is an important hallmark of quality that is extensively acknowledged by employers in the field and is the vital stepping stone for students looking to become a chartered psychologist after graduation.
