心理学在很多人看来一直都是一门很高深的学科，简单概括来说就是研究人的行为以及行为背后的动机，听起来似乎很简单但细想后又无从下手，属于那种 “ 不明觉厉 ” 的专业。

英国的心理学发展很成熟，开设的课程种类广泛，兼具学术研究性与实践性。相信了解过心理学的同学们都知道，在英国想要读心理学硕士，是要有英国心里学会 BPS （ British Psychological Society ）认证的 GBC （ Grauate Basis for Chartere Membership ）资格的，要怎么获得这个资格呢？那就需要你本科是在英国读的心理学。那作为一个海外留学生，要怎么才能绕开 “ 本科在英国读心理学 ” 这个不可能达到的条件，而成功在英国读心理学硕士呢？——你需要 Conversion 转换课程。

要说 Conversion 课程就要先说下英国心理学会 BPS 的等级构成，分为三级，本科在学会认可的英国院校读心理学后会成为第一级会员 Stuent Membership ；成功读完心理学课程后就会获得第二级 Grauate Membership （也称作 Grauate Basis for Chartere Membership，也就是 GBC，当然也不是所有学心理学的学生都能 “ 连锅端 ” 的获得 GBC 的，也是要完成学业通过考核才行的哈 ~ ）；再往上就是最高级的 Chartere Membership，必须要达到这个等级才能成为英国的特许心理学家。

对于海外留学生而言，少了第一级 Stuent Membership 的铺垫，要想读心理学，怎么办？

作为一个成熟的学科，心理学专业在各大院校均有开设的，而到了硕士阶段，大多数院校都会要求你要有 GBC 资格才行，但部分学校会为那些想本土想转专业的学生以及海外留学生开设 Conversion 转换课程，在成功完成学业后，同样有机会获得 GBC 资格。GBC 资格对于以后想成为英国心理学家的同学至关重要，但这个资格对于单纯只是想要获得心理学硕士学位，后选择回国发展的海外留学党们就显得有些鸡肋了，但本着多个证书多条路的原则，考取 GBC 资格除了是对自己能力的一种肯定，对未来回国从事相关行业也会有一定的帮助。
