Hi Melissa
Attached here is the current BPS 'map' of working towards charter ship,
under the current and existing arrangements, if you want to achieve
charter ship (to practice) you would have to complete a relevant MSc /
doctoral course, designed to fulfil the criterion towards charter-ship
with the relevant division of the BPS (e.g. Forensic, Educational, etc.)
I'm not sure that the Applied Psychology Msc. would be eligible to be
considered in lieu of a more specific Msc, for chartership purposes, but
my understanding is that achievement of the Msc in Applied Psychology,
may allow you to apply for APL (accreditation of prior learning) and
potential dispensation from some of the academic requirements for
certain modules on the more specifically focused Masters courses.
Does that sound right as far as other people are aware?
Best wishes, Matt.

Subject: Which MSc???
Hi, I'm looking for a bit of advice please! I'm hoping to start an MSc
Applied Psychology soon, but am wondering what it can lead to
afterwards? I
am really interested in the forensic side of things and although the MSc
Forensic Psychology looked really good everywhere, I wanted to keep my
options open (because i'm always changing my mind and i like a few areas
in
psychology) so figured applied would give me research methods as well as
2
or 3 applied areas. If I do decide to go into forensic psychology
afterwards though, do I then have to go and do a masters in forensic
psychology? I'm going to be doing a couple of modules in that field in
the
applied course, so will that count for much? Is it a good idea to do
this
course or is it going to be a waste of time if i have to do another
masters
afterwards?!
I'm so confused!!! Oh just for info... also would love to do a phd at
some
point too!
I'd be really grateful for any help/advice!
Thanks, Mel xxx
