Degree Recognition for MSc Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy
Verfasst: Mo 2. Sep 2024, 13:28
Hello,
I am currently a third-year student pursuing a B.A. General Degree from a college in India, with my major subjects being Psychology and English, and Sociology as a minor. I plan to graduate next year and am very interested in pursuing an MSc in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy at your esteemed university.
However, I noticed that the entry requirements specify the need for a B.Sc. or a polyvalent Bachelor's degree as per the PsychThG and the licensing regulations for psychotherapists (PsychThApprO), which I do not possess. My degree is more interdisciplinary, and I’m concerned about whether it meets the necessary academic requirements for the program.
Given my current qualifications and the fact that I am still in the process of learning German (with basic knowledge so far) preparing myself to study in Germany, I am seeking advice on the following:
Am I eligible to apply for the MSc in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy with my current degree, or is there a specific recognition process I should follow?
If my degree is not directly eligible, are there any bridging or preparatory courses available that I could take to cover the gap in qualifications? If so, could you provide details on how I might apply for these courses?
If studying for an MSc in Clinical Psychology in India and then applying for further training in Germany is a more suitable path, would that be recognized in Germany, particularly for psychotherapy training?
I’m eager to move to Germany for further studies and training and would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer on my options.
Thank you.
