Regulations for the Society's Postgraduate Qualifications
You may have heard that the Society has been revising the Regulations for all its qualifications. This work has been ongoing for some time and is driven by a need to ensure consistency across different areas of applied psychology and ensure fairness and best practice. In order to do this the Society has introduced one set of overarching Regulations for the Society’s Postgraduate Qualifications in Psychology and a separate handbook which provides the programme specific information for each qualification. The Regulations will be launched on 1st April 2007 and the Society’s postgraduate qualifications will all transfer to these Regulations over the next few months.
