跨专业申心理学硕士?谁说不可以!

心理学在很多人看来一直都是一门很高深的学科,简单概括来说就是研究人的行为以及行为背后的动机,听起来似乎很简单但细想后又无从下手,属于那种不明觉厉的专业。

 

英国的心理学发展很成熟,开设的课程种类广泛,兼具学术研究性与实践性。相信了解过心理学的同学们都知道,在英国想要读心理学硕士,是要有英国心里学会BPSBritish Psychological Society)认证的GBCGraduate Basis for Chartered Membership)资格的,要怎么获得这个资格呢?那就需要你本科是在英国读的心理学。那作为一个海外留学生,要怎么才能绕开本科在英国读心理学这个不可能达到的条件,而成功在英国读心理学硕士呢?——你需要Conversion转换课程。

 

要说Conversion课程就要先说下英国心理学会BPS的等级构成,分为三级,本科在学会认可的英国院校读心理学后会成为第一级会员Student Membership;成功读完心理学课程后就会获得第二级Graduate Membership(也称作Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership,也就是GBC,当然也不是所有学心理学的学生都能连锅端的获得GBC的,也是要完成学业通过考核才行的哈~);再往上就是最高级的Chartered Membership,必须要达到这个等级才能成为英国的特许心理学家。

 

对于海外留学生而言,少了第一级Student Membership的铺垫,要想读心理学,怎么办?

 

作为一个成熟的学科,心理学专业在各大院校均有开设的,而到了硕士阶段,大多数院校都会要求你要有GBC资格才行,但部分学校会为那些想本土想转专业的学生以及海外留学生开设Conversion转换课程,在成功完成学业后,同样有机会获得GBC资格。GBC资格对于以后想成为英国心理学家的同学至关重要,但这个资格对于单纯只是想要获得心理学硕士学位,后选择回国发展的海外留学党们就显得有些鸡肋了,但本着多个证书多条路的原则,考取GBC资格除了是对自己能力的一种肯定,对未来回国从事相关行业也会有一定的帮助。
