Should I apply this year?

The exact starting date varies from course to course but they all start between early September and early October and have only one intake each year.

Completing spring/summer 2026

Will you complete your GBC-accredited psychology degree or your conversion course in spring/summer 2026? You will not have Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) when applications are released to courses by the end of January 2026.

• Please see the Entry Requirements section for information about GBC

A few courses may consider people who do not have GBC when they apply, but most do not.

• Please see the Courses section for the requirements of individual courses

If the courses you are interested in consider applications from people who do not have GBC yet, you must ensure that you will have GBC before the courses start. In practice, you must have completed your qualification and got your results by the end of August 2026.

If you decide to apply you will not be able to upload a GBC document as you will not have GBC. Either you will not be asked for a GBC document, or you may need to tick the relevant "Provide later" box in the Documents section of your Application.
