Getting in
As the university states it
An undergraduate (honours) degree at 2:2, or above, in Psychology accredited by the BPS Or An undergraduate (honours) degree at 2:2, or above, and successful completion of a research methods assessment. Further information about entry: To start “Stage 2” towards becoming a Chartered Occupational Psychologist in the UK, in addition to an accredited MSc in Occupational Psychology (like this course) you must have Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) membership. This is typically obtained through a British Psychological Society (BPS)-accredited undergraduate or conversion degree (we offer the MSc Psychology Conversion degree here at Greenwich). If you studied Psychology overseas, it may also be possible to obtain GBC, if your undergraduate degree contained sufficient psychology content, as reviewed by the BPS (you must apply to the BPS directly). If your intention is to become a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, you can complete this MSc in Occupational Psychology before or after your BPS-accredited undergraduate degree, conversion course or GBC application. The background in psychology and research methods conferred by meeting GBC requirements are helpful but not essential for this MSc course. See our website for more information. Placements that involve working with children / young people under 18 years: Overseas applicants: If you are an overseas student, currently living overseas, or have spent a lot of time living abroad during the last 5 years, you must obtain a Police Certificate of Good Conduct from the Local Law Enforcement body of that country. This must be issued in English by your local police station. You should obtain this before arriving in the UK. See UK government guidance All applicants: All applicants who wish to take placements that involve working directly with children and young people under 18 years must complete an enhanced disclosure and barring service (DBS) check and an occupational health check once they start the course. For overseas students, this is in addition to the international Police Certificate of Good Conduct. If you already hold an Enhanced DBS disclosure in the UK that is registered with the Update Service, it may be possible to use this instead.
