International Qualifications

    Does anyone have any experience with applying for jobs in Ireland with international degrees and work experience?

    I have a Bachelor of Psychology from an American university (4 year program so I believe this may be the equivalent of an Honors degree?) and a Master of Mental Health- Art Therapy from an Australian university. I'm registered to practice as an Art Therapist in Australia as well. We're moving to Ireland very soon, and I'm finding it hard to understand what I would be qualified to work as here. Would I be classified as a counselor or would I be eligible to register as a psychologist?

    Thanks for any help or insight!

    Hello OP; due to the specialised question and certification at hand I think this forum will actually be a better fit for you to get an answer.

    contact this organisation for accreditation with Art Therapy http://www.iacat.ie/art-therapy-overview

    And this for reg with psychology http://www.psihq.ie/

    or this http://www.bps.org.uk/what-we-do/benefits-belonging/membership/membership

    The British psychology accreditation will hold as much value to the Irish one, I'm led to believe.

    Not sure about your Art qualification, it may depend on the modules you have taken. Contact them directly
