Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership
In
order to be considered for a place on any training course in Clinical Psychology
it is essential to have Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC)with the
British Psychological Society (BPS), usually at the time of applying or
certainly by the time shortlisting is completed (in February). Graduate Basis
for Chartered Membership is the same as Graduate Basis for Registration: all
that has changed is the name. So if you previously had GBR you will now have
GBC. The usual way of obtaining this is by completing an undergraduate degree in
Psychology, or by taking a qualifying exam or programme which confers
eligibility.
Not all Psychology programmes confer eligibility for GBC. If
you are unsure whether you are entitled to GBC you should check this with your
programme staff or write to the BPS (St Andrews House, 48 Princess Road East ,
Leicester LE1 7DR; Tel: 0116 254 9568; e-mail: mail@bps.org.uk ) for more details.
