BPS re-accreditation for CITY College, University of York Europe Campus

A prestigious accreditation for our Psychology Department

We are pleased to announce that CITY College has received re-accreditation by the prestigious British Psychological Society (BPS) for the undergraduate programme offered by its Psychology Department, the BSc (Hons) in Psychology. Our Bachelor programme and the provision offered to students once again met the rigorous criteria set by BPS. The BPS accreditation is a definite hallmark of quality for psychology. It is of immense importance for the recognition of our graduates’ professional rights and indicates that the programmes support quality learning, are well-resourced and cover in depth the curriculum endorsed by the Society.

The British Psychological Society (BPS) is the professional body for psychology and psychologists in the UK and has been involved in accrediting programmes of education and training in psychology since the 1970s. It promotes excellence and ethical professional practice and education. Accreditation is the means by which the Society reaches a view on whether psychology courses are suitable to support students’ achievement of learning outcomes, and are supported by an appropriate resource base.
