How do I know whether my overseas/ distant learning/ offshore programme degree is recognized/ eligible for membership?
Only overseas university courses that are accredited by recognized established psychological societies of that particular country are recognized by SPS. Australian Psychological Society (APS), British Psychological society (BPS) and American Psychological Association (APA) are such societies. Hence for example, a degree programme offered by an Australian university that is accredited by the Australian Psychological Society will be recognized. If you are still unsure whether your course of study is recognized for SPS membership, please email enquiries@singaporepsychologicalsociety.org with the details of your course. – Title of the course – Length of study, type (distance learning/ on-site/ full-time / part-time) – The awarding university – Any accredition by overseas psychological societies or collaboration with established overseas universities. Please note that for student membership, we only accept minimum degree or degree-equilivant courses of study.
