Psychology can be linked to research, business, human resources, UX, education and health; If the goal is to become a professional psychologist, national research institutes, certifications and registration rules are completely different.

First, the psychology department isn't just a "psychologist."

Bachelors in psychology are usually trained in the core areas of research methodology, statistics, cognitive, developmental, social, biological and individual differences. The American Psychological Association (APA) has also identified the University of Psychology as a discipline that can develop scientific reasoning, critical thinking, communication and professional development, so that graduation can extend to research, business, human resources, user research, education, public service and health-related areas.

ii. BA and BSc don't just read names.

The different universities do not exactly name BA, BSc. DIY should directly compare compulsory courses, statistics and methodological weights, lab / research orientation, and the availability of cross-cutting courses such as neuroscience, data, business, education, etc. The name itself cannot replace the curriculum.

Objective You'll have to look at it at the baccalaureate. And then it's common next step.
Research/academics Statistics, research methods, lab, hormonals, etc. M.A./Doctorate in Research
Clinical/professional psychology Professional accreditation pathways, internships and research bases Accredited institutes/doctorates and registration procedures
Business/UX/Human resources social、cognitive、data、research、communication Master ' s degree in employment or related professions
Education/children developmental、learning、education electives Follow-up training in education, school psychoology, counselling, etc.

The most important difference between E.E., U.S., C.A. and A.A. is "How do you meet your professional qualifications?"

United Kingdom: Confirm BPS authentication and GBC

If you want to follow the British path of professional psychology in the future, you will have to confirm whether the course meets the requirements of British Psychological Society in relation to the certification of Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). It's two different things than having a psychology department in school.

United States: Bachelor ' s degree and practice is usually higher than institute

(a) APA ' s Bachelor ' s resources emphasize the ability of psychology to reach a wide range of careers; If the aim is to provide psychological services, the state licensing and research institutes/doctoral training will be re-examined. Psychology bachelor is not directly equated to psychologist license.

Canada: Practice regulation administered by province/territory

The Canadian Psychological Association makes it clear that psychology BA/BSc is the first step in the Institute ' s training, while the registration/licence of psychologist is administered by the provincial and territorial authorities, and the required master ' s or doctoral qualifications may differ.

Australia: APAC accreditation and PsyBA application

APAC states that, in order to follow the Australian Psychologist registration path, the curriculum is to be completed according to the requirements of APAC approved security, and the registration is also used for Psychology Board of Australia ' s applied program. The completion of a degree in psychology does not mean automatic registration.

DIY Key: If you just like psychology, you can compare the course with the direction of research; If your goal is "to become a psychologist/psychologist", then a university degree should be selected from the expected country or region of practice.
