Training for other careers in psychology It is likely that students wishing to continue their career in an area of psychology that does not yet have an accredited route will also need to take a further relevant qualification. You can get an idea of what is available more widely by going onto the graduate prospects website (http://www.prospects.ac.uk), which as we write has 688 postgraduate courses suitable for psychology graduates, ranging from postgraduate certificate (PGCert), postgraduate diploma (PGDip), master of arts (MA), master of science (MSc) and master of philosophy (MPhil), to taught doctor of philosophy (PhD) (often known as professional doctorates). These are all helpfully summarized by region. This whole range of other specialist areas open to graduate psychologists for which there is not yet an accredited training route (although some of them might form part of the training in broader areas of applied psychology) includes: animal psychology, art therapy, aviation psychology, behaviour analyst, cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive psychology, consumer psychology, developmental psychology, evolutionary psychology, gambling psychology, humanistic psychology, hypnotherapy, investigative psychology, music therapy, organizational psychology, parapsychology, political psychology, psychoanalysis, psycho-oncology, psychosomatics and social psychology. Embarking on a PhD The route to a research-based PhD is very often through a taught Master’s programme with particular input on research methods – in other words, a 1+3 model. The taught year is sometimes known as an MRes (master in research) or may have a more specific title with more focused content. All PhD students are then registered initially for an MPhil, converting to PhD registration only when they have won their spurs and reached a certain stage in their project, usually at some point in the second year. Funding is a major issue for postgraduate work and you should explore what possibilities are available. Find out what previous awards have been made in <strong>your</strong> chosen area in the department of <strong>your</strong> choice and be prepared to spend time and effort looking for less obvious sources. See our associated website for information on becoming a university lecturer and suggestions on funding for a PhD. Other related postgraduate courses WHAT NEXT? 173 There are also courses open to people with psychology degrees leading into different related fields such as addictive behaviours, audiology, counselling and criminology.
174 SUCCESSFUL STUDYING 6.6 Working and training abroad Europe The European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) (www.efpa.be) provides a forum for European co-operation in academic training, psychological practice and research. There are 32 member associations representing about 180,000 psychologists. EFPA is concerned with promoting and improving psychology as a profession and as an academic discipline, and the member associations include practitioners as well as academic psychologists. EuroPsy This was established in 2005 in response to Directive 2005/36/EC following the Bologna declaration to promote European mobility, and denotes a European standard equivalent to BPS Chartered Psychologist status (i.e. three-year undergraduate degree, two-year postgraduate degree and one-year supervised practice). It enables individual psychologists to be recognized across the 32 national member associations in the European Federation of Psychologist Associations and is currently being trialled in six countries including the UK. Applicants can download the form from www.bps.org.uk/europsy and more information is available at www.efpa.be. Successful registration confers the title Registered EuroPsy Psychologist. There is also currently a mutual recognition agreement between the UK and Republic of Ireland, and undergraduate degrees are recognized as the basis for postgraduate training in either country. The USA There are two national organizations for psychologists, as discussed below. 1 The American Psychological Association (APA) is a ‘scientific and professional organization’ with 148,000 members and 53 professional divisions, and is the American equivalent of the BPS. Its website (www.apa.org) has a section, ‘PsyCareers’, which covers careers both within psychology and without, and a large range of other information. 2 The Association for Psychological Science (APS) (www.psychological science.org) was founded in 1988 and has about 18,000 members. Its mission is ‘to promote, protect, and advance the interests of scientifically oriented psychology in research, application, teaching, and the improvement of human
