Entry requirements

To apply, you must have a high 2:1 bachelors degree in Psychology (65% or above) with high marks in research methods and statistics. You do not need to have completed a psychology degree recognised by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as a Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC). However to progress to Stage 2 Forensic Chartership you must obtain GBC from the BPS. All applicants must have some relevant work experience with a vulnerable client group (voluntary or paid), but not necessarily in a forensic setting. Applicants who meet the minimum entry requirement will be invited to attend an online interview.
