What courses can I take abroad as a bridge course to help me get licensed and work as a psychologist in New Zealand for a Postgraduate/Diploma?

It depends on your background and the country’s requirements, but for New Zealand, you’ll need to complete a recognized postgraduate program that leads to registration with the New Zealand Psychologists Board.

Typical bridge course options include:
- Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Psychology: Designed for those aiming for clinical psychologist registration. Usually requires a relevant master’s degree and may be restricted to local citizens or permanent residents.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology: For those with a Master of Health Science in Psychology. Includes a required internship and leads toward registration.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Psychological Practice: Focuses on supervised practice and academic work to meet registration competencies.
- Graduate Diploma in Arts (Psychology): For those with a degree in another field, to gain foundational psychology knowledge before postgraduate study.

Program availability and entry requirements are subject to change.
