Hey dear, I completed my psychology master degree in Italy. I stayed for three years to complete my masters in Italy. Based on my research, it seems that most countries have similar requirements for this degree. I can share all the essential requirements that are typically mandatory in any country.
Common requirements you should be aware of:
- Completed a bachelor’s degree.
- Before applying to the actual Master’s program, you might need to complete a pre-master’s if you haven’t earned a Bachelor of Psychology degree.
- Official transcript of records that includes your grades and the classes you took for your bachelor’s degree.
- A 50 EUR university application fee may be required for some programs.
- GPAs typically have a minimum of 3.0.
- Passing the GRE or another test may be a requirement for some programs. In certain situations, a higher GRE score can take priority over a lesser GPA.
- Two to four recommendation letters from previous instructors.
- Academic and professional experience are included in a curriculum vitae, often known as a resume. Any achievements related to psychology are important.
- Analysis of a case study according to the program’s standards. A case study may be required by certain master’s programs to determine your proficiency.
- A statement of purpose that addresses specific questions regarding your long-term objectives and the reasons for your decision to study psychology.
- Certain colleges may demand background checks to ensure you have not engaged in criminal activity if you will be participating in fieldwork and practical courses.
