An applicant for registration must (1) be a member of the Hong Kong Psychological Society (HKPS), (2) possess a higher degree in psychology obtained from an institution recognized by the Society, and (3) have at least one year of post-qualification experience in a discipline of psychology deemed acceptable to the Council. This programme endeavours to prepare students to meet the second requirement.

Upon successful graduation with good academic performance, students who hold HKPS membership may consider applying for registration after obtaining at least one year of post-qualification experience in a psychology discipline deemed acceptable to the Council. The final decision remains at the discretion of the HKPS Council.

Some alumni of the programme have successfully embarked on further studies in professional training schemes and pursued doctoral and other advanced research degrees at leading universities locally and overseas.
