What are the main psychology degree options in Singapore for 2026?

Key options highlighted include SIM Global Education (University at Buffalo BA in Psychology; University of Wollongong Bachelor of Psychological Science), James Cook University Singapore (Bachelor of Psychological Science, APAC-accredited), Singapore Management University (BSocSc with a major in Psychology under PPS), Nanyang Technological University (BSocSci Hons in Psychology), and National University of Singapore (BSocSci Hons in Psychology).

How long does a psychology degree take in Singapore?

Public university routes (SMU, NTU, NUS) typically take four years. SIM partner programmes and JCU often complete in about three years, with JCU offering an accelerated trimester option. Always verify your intended intake’s structure.

Do I need a licence to practise as a psychologist in Singapore?

There is currently no government licensure law. Professional standards are maintained via the Singapore Register of Psychologists (SRP) under the Singapore Psychological Society. SRP eligibility usually requires a relevant postgraduate degree and supervised practice.

Is SIM a good first choice for psychology studies?

For many students, yes. SIM offers two established partner pathways—UB (U.S.-style BA) and UOW (Australian-aligned Bachelor of Psychological Science)—with multiple intakes, clear curricula, and strong methods/applied components. Compare modules, fees and schedules on the official programme pages.

Which programme should I choose if I want international portability or an APAC track?

For international portability with applied breadth, consider SIM’s UB (U.S.-style) or UOW (Australian-aligned) pathways. If you want an APAC-accredited track and an accelerated trimester pace, consider JCU Singapore.

What if I plan to practise clinically after graduation?

Plan on postgraduate training plus supervised hours to meet SRP expectations. A bachelor’s provides foundational knowledge (methods, statistics, research); you will typically need a relevant master’s for clinical or counselling practice.

What factors should I check before choosing a psychology programme?

Clarify your end-goal (clinical, research/analytics, or people/UX roles), check recognition and portability, compare cost and duration, review methods training (statistics, research design, labs/practicum), and understand professional pathways and postgraduate requirements.

How are fees and funding typically handled?

Public universities use MOE Tuition Grant schemes with fixed-fee models and financing options (e.g., TFL). Partner programmes list total course fees directly. Always refer to the latest fee tables and programme pages for your intake.
