What do I need?
Typical offer
2:2 in relevant subject area
Typically, an Honours degree in Psychology (2:2 or above) that is recognised by the British Psychology Society (BPS) as providing Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC).

- you may need to provide evidence that your Undergraduate degree is accredited by the BPS, or is considered by the BPS to be equivalent to an Undergraduate Psychology degree in the UK
If your degree is not accredited you can check for eligibility for GBC by following the application to apply. If you are eligible you will be notified by an email asking you to pay the full GBC subscription fee. This email will be accepted as evidence of eligibility.
The research proposal should include:
- some background literature and to state the aims of your study
- an outline of your methods and proposed method of data analysis
- some implications of your research question
Your application will not be considered by the programme team until all the above items have been submitted.
