Academic Entry Requirements
Published standard (aggregator/BPS-HCPC criteria text, NOT verified on a current official Regent's page - confirm before advising): minimum 2:1 Bachelor's degree in psychology with Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC), a Certificate in Psychotherapy and Counselling of at least 120 hours, and at least six months' face-to-face counselling work; interview day required before an unconditional offer; 2:2 considered only exceptionally with extensive clinical experience or a Master's/PhD. Completion enables application for BPS Chartered Membership / Division of Counselling Psychology membership and HCPC registration as a Counselling Psychologist (aggregator text). CAUTION: older Regent's Academic Regulations describe doctoral provision as validated/collaborative awards (Open University / University of Wales) and some routes as 'being taught out' - current awarding/validation status MUST be confirmed with Regent's before advising any applicant. PAKISTAN: no doctoral-specific Pakistan threshold was found; the taught-PG Pakistan figure (four-year bachelor's First division 60%/CGPA 2.75, IELTS 6.5, 500-700 word statement) does NOT automatically cover this professional doctorate - confirm Pakistan eligibility and any additional requirements with Admissions. Applicants from Pakistan are NOT eligible for REPTs - a SELT is required. No Pakistan recruitment pause or suspension of Regent's sponsor licence was found in this pass - confirm sponsor status at application time. Scholarship NOT deducted; no doctoral scholarship verified.
