Advice on choosing your course
As an independent professional body the NIP is unable to recommend specific degree courses. However, to keep your options open we strongly recommend that you take a degree which is recognised by the NIP allowing you to register with our association. Even if you have no plans at the moment to become a professional psychologist or are not sure what you want to do at this stage. Recognised courses are required to gain entrance to accredited postgraduate courses that allow you to register as a psychologist with the NIP. This gives you the possibility to work as an independent psychologist in the Netherlands.
