Introduction

BPS

After graduating some of you will want to pursue careers for which graduate membership of the BPS is important. The psychology course at York leads to a degree recognised as a qualification for graduate membership of the BPS. Details of BPS student membership may be found on the notice-board outside the departmental office, and application forms are held in the Departmental Office.

It is important to realise that many jobs (and courses) will require substantial work experience prior to entry (particularly clinical, educational and counselling psychology). You may therefore need to spend some time, both during and after your degree, building up work experience in roles which may or may not require a degree.

Jobs are advertised on the BPS website www.psychapp.co.uk
