BPS Accreditation:
The degree of Psychology (BSc Hons) - 4 Years (Full-Time) is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). This accreditation requires that students take and complete a pre-requisite set of courses and meet a minimum level of academic standards. If you do not meet these BPS requirements, but otherwise meet the requirements of your DPT, then you will graduate with an unaccredited Psychological Studies (BSc Hons) degree, rather than a Psychology (BSc Hons) degree.

One key aspect of the accredited degree is taking option courses in Years 3 and 4 that cover the BPS core areas of Psychology. Detailed information is available on the BPS Accreditation page on the PPLS Undergraduate Hub.
