What is accreditation?

Accreditation through Partnership is the process by which the British Psychological Society works with education providers to ensure quality standards in education and training are met by all programmes on an ongoing basis.

Our approach to accreditation is based on partnership rather than policing, and we emphasise working collaboratively with programme providers through open, constructive dialogue that allows for exploration, development and quality enhancement.

All programmes that are accredited by the British Psychological Society have met rigorous criteria, which means if you graduate from a BPS accredited undergraduate or postgraduate conversion course, you will be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the society.
