The BPS The British Psychology Society

• Why Join?

2
What is the BPS?

• BPS represents Psychologists in the UK, and has
  roughly 48,000 members.
• If you decide to follow Psychology
  professionally, you will need the BPS, as they
  will provide Chartership status which you need
  to become a Professional practicing Psychologist.

What is the BPS?

• Luckily, at Kent Uni we are on a BPS accredited
  Psychology course, meaning youre already one
  step closer!
• This means when you graduate, you will hold an
  accredited Psychology degree and hold GBR
  (Graduate Basis for Registration) meaning you can
  go on to study further accredited courses i.e.
  Masters, PhDs, and Doctorates using Psychology.
• However, all that is way into the future, so why
  join the BPS as a student subscriber?
