PsyD clinical psychology, any suggestion?

V

Hello Everybody,
I want to apply to a PsyD in clinical psychology in the UK. The first thing they require if you are an international applicant is the graduate basis for registration (GBR) of the British Psychological Societ. Anybody has experience with that and can tell me what is that, how long does it take to go through the process etc?
Thanks a lot, any help greatly appreciated!

It's basically just to make sure that your knowledge of psychology is similar to that you'd have got doing a degree at a UK university. I think GBR just means you have an appropriate qualification that allows you to register with the society. To work as a chartered psychologist you need to be registered with the BPS, so you need the GBR. I think you'll need to contact them and arrange to do an exam or something. This page has some information.

Hi Melsie,
thank you so much! I actually am a licensed psychologist registered onto the professional board in my country, so I really hope the two titles to be equivalent...
