Accreditation

The British Psychological Society (BPS) is the professional body responsible for developing and supporting the discipline of psychology and disseminating psychological knowledge to the public and policy makers.

Our single-subject BSc programme provides you with a degree in psychology that is accredited as providing both Graduate Membership and the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC)*.  For anyone aiming to eventually qualify as a Chartered Psychologist, this is an important first step. For graduates working in other fields, the accreditation stands as evidence of the calibre of teaching at Southampton.

A number of our postgraduate programmes provide a higher level of accredition with the BPS. They are also approved by the Health Professions Council, which would then allow you to practice legally on the UK under a title such as Health Psychologist.
