Applicants must hold, or be eligible for, the Graduate Basis for Chartered membership (GBC) of the

• can show evidence of attainments during their undergraduate degree which indicate particular strengths in Health Psychology.

If you are not eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society, you may wish to apply for a place on our Graduate Diploma in Psychology.
