What does “BPS accredited” actually mean, and why should you care if you’re considering psychology as a degree or career path?

In this episode we unpack British Psychological Society (BPS) accreditation: what it is in plain English, what doors it can open after graduation, and how it shapes routes into postgraduate study and professional training (including popular pathways such as Clinical and Forensic Psychology).

You’ll also hear from recent graduates Mike Hornsey and Becky Davies, who share how taking the MSc Psychology conversion route helped them get to where they are now.

After a brief hiatus, Mind over Mocha returns with Episode 9 featuring BSc Psychology student Rachel Pearson. Rachel discusses her recently completed placement year at a well-renowned NHS institution and shares valuable insights about the application process, daily responsibilities, challenges faced, and skills developed. Whether you're considering a placement year or curious about professional experience during your degree, this episode offers practical advice and real-world perspectives from someone who's just been through it.

Amanda chats with second-year BSc Psychology students, Beth Lacey and Arron Boakes, about transitioning to university and what helped them with this process. Gain valuable insight into student life, academic challenges and personal growth as our guests share their experiences at CCCU.

Soon-to-be-alumna Gess Zimmerman shares her journey studying a BPS-accredited BSc in Psychology with us and opens up about her experiences in the final year, the challenges and triumphs of conducting her final year research project. 

Amanda speaks to Senior Lecturer and Dr Dennis Nigbur about his research focus on Social Psychology and how his own experiences of migrating to the UK impacted his engagement with social identity theory here at Canterbury Christ Church University.

Amanda talks with JP, a recent Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) alumnus, about his experiences with doing the MSc in Psychology Conversion course at CCCU and how he used this degree in his career as a fashion stylist.
