With the dire state of mental health in South Africa, arousing a lot of discussion over the last few years, in 2014, SACAP launched the 4-year Bachelor of Psychology (BPsych) degree. What inspired this degree was the need for professionally registered counsellors able to deal with South Africa’s unique mental health crisis.
This 4-year, full-time professional BPsych degree is accredited by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and leads to professional registration with the HPCSA as a Registered Counsellor. This means, once you have this qualification, you can practise as a Registered Counsellor with the scope outlines by the HPCSA in community and private settings.
Registered Counsellors are trained to :
- Provide developmental, preventative counselling services to protect and promote psychological well-being.
- Perform psychological screening, primary mental status screening and basic assessment and refer clients where necessary
- Promote psychosocial health and community based care with individuals, families and communities in diverse settings.
- Perform primary mental health interventions.
- Participate in the design, implementation, management, and evaluation of psychologically-based programmes that are appropriate for individuals or groups in community contexts.
- Participate in policy formulation based on various aspects of psychological theory and research.
- Train and supervise other Registered Counsellors.
Dr Sharon Johnson, the SACAP former BPsych Degree Programme Coordinator says, “The BPsych degree programme is an important step towards growing a workforce of practitioners who will be able to work at community level, providing psychosocial support, mental health counselling, mental health promotion and psychoeducation focused around issues of vulnerability and building resilience in the context of widespread risk.”
The traditional route aspiring psychologists take is to register for a general undergraduate degree such as a Bachelor of Arts, then major in Psychology, with the hope of getting into Honours and then Masters, meaning it will take them about 6 or 7 years before they can practise as a registered psychologist.
According to the Department of Higher Education, only 20% of general degree undergraduates majoring in Psychology will be selected for Honours programmes and then of those, only a third will be accepted for Masters. This is mainly because of the small number of places available at postgraduate level, as compared to the larger enrolments at undergraduate level. This leaves many holders of BA graduates, even those with Honours, unable to register with the HPCSA and so, limiting their employability.
Dr Johnson says, “Traditional university study pathways in Psychology are not efficient at producing the number of psychologists presently needed in South Africa, and in any event psychologists are not the answer to primary mental health provision. Psychologists may be over-trained for this task and tend to focus more on individual clinical interventions in environments and contexts that can afford their services rather than community based counselling.”
This is creating a double bottleneck when it comes to providing mental health in South Africa, because of the lengthy and difficult route most students have to take to become psychlogists
The main advantage of the BPsych Degree is that it has a fourth year, which is equivalent to Honours (they both sit at an NQF 8), and so the students do not have to worry about being selected for one of the few places available in Honours programmes.
In addition, once you have completed you BPsych Degree, you will be able to write the HPCSA Professional Board exam for registration with the HPCSA as a Registered Counsellor, something that those who have taken the general undergraduate degree, followed by a Psychology Honours programme route are unable to do. This is seen as highly advantageous for employment status of a BPsych graduate.
Finally, a BPsych Degree incorporates a 960 hours practicum in which students are placed at an organisation and have the opportunity to put their training into practice while receiving supervision and guidance from the College. And if they want to further their studies by doing a Masters programme, the skill set they have after completing a BPsych Degree will put them in a good position for acceptance.
Dr Hermanean Laauwen, former Principal of SACAP’s Johannesburg Campus says, “The BPsych degree is one of the keys to resolving so many of the challenges that our country faces in addressing our mental health challenges. The BPsych degree is a highly efficient academic pathway for professional registration and is directly targeted at training professionals for a scope of practice to work in community contexts at a primary mental health level.”
Dr Laauwen goes on to say, “What differentiates us from a traditional university setting is that we are committed to the personal development of our students along with their sense of vocational identity. Our BPsych degree empowers graduates with knowledge and essential ‘work ready’ skills to make a difference where it’s needed most,” says Dr Laauwen.
SACAP’s Cape Town and Johannesburg campuses offer an accredited BPsych Degree, and applications for 2016 close on 30 November with a limited intake of only 20 students at each campus.

I have an honours degree in psychology obtained from unisa. I was one of the unfortunate students who got to their honours level of study when the bpsych equivalent was phased out. I want to work as a registered marriage counselor, but due to the lack of the hpcsa registration I can’t. Now I was wondering if its still possible for me to be enrolled in your bsych programme, even though all of the subjects/modules I’ve done, just for me to get a registration pathway?

Hi. I had just completed my Psychology Honors degree at UNISA with a view to doing the BPsych Equivalence Programme ie the 6 month practicum when it was cancelled at the end of 2013. I graduated with 5 distinctions. At my age (45) there is little opportunity for me to leave my job and do Masters etc. Most universities expect you to redo Honors before they will accept you on the practicum. You can imagine how disappointing this has been. I already have a BSc and BCom degrees as well.
Will SACAP accept someone like me on the 6 month practicum to provide me with the opportunity to write the Board exam? Thanks. Teresa
SACAP
Teresa,
The only way to register with the HPCSA at this stage is to either complete your Masters or to complete a four year BPsych degree with the 960 hours practicum. We are not able to merge students into our BPsych and the BPsych equivalence degree is no longer offered anywhere in South Africa until further notice.
Velisa Hoza
Good day
Just wanted to ask if you offer the BPsych equivalent psychometry programme.
Thank you
SACAP
Velisa,
We only offer the BPsych Degree that will allow you to register with HPCSA and allow you to work as a registered counsellor under one of their 9 categories. Please read our blog on the types of jobs you can get with a Psychology degree for more information.
Jade
Does SACAP offer bursaries to students who are interested in the BPsych degree
SACAP
Jade,
SACAP is a private institution and so, does not offer any bursaries.
Ernest
I have a degree is Psychology. Do I have start afresh if wanting to enrol the Bpsych programme with SACAP?
SACAP
Ernest,
It would still take you the full four years to complete your BPsych degree, even if we can credit you some modules you would have to wait for the cohort to complete them according to the HPCSA.
Gene
This year I will be completing my honours degree in BA Psychology. What are my options if I wanted to have a BPsych degree?
SACAP
Gene,
Unfortunately you cannot merge into the BPsych degree. Even if we can credit you some modules you would have to wait for the cohort to complete them according to the HPCSA. Therefore it would still take you the full four years to complete your BPsych degree.

And can I apply for financial support or a bursary in this matter ?
Kind regards H Badenhorst

I wish this was done long time ago…we never would have chosen the BA majoring in psychology. I’m one of the many people whom I can say is ‘stuck’ with a BA degree in Psychology, I can’t get into honours, part time or fulltime…I love psychology, it is my passion, most Psychology students I went to school with are stuck in dead end Jobs or have changed careers mostly Education field, that is not what I want to do…is there any hope for us? What if you also consider students with BA’s in Pyschology for the BPsych qualification, maybe do one more year equivelant to the qualification with modules covered in the BPsych and not on BAPsych…please advise…(Desperate)
SACAP
Sindiswa,
The BPsych degree is a four year professional qualification and unfortunately it is not possible to merge into second, third or last year with other qualifications, at this stage. Students have to complete the full four years as one cohort. You will have the opportunity to apply for credits should you choose to enter another undergraduate degree in Psychology with SACAP ie the Bachelor of Applied Social Science.
Didintle
Its only now that I also get to understand which one is better,as I am a second year psychology student. But what I also wanted to know is that once I complete my degree can I apply for my honors at your campus reason being most universities don’t really focus on the practical side of things as much as you do??
But thank-you the info 🙂
SACAP
Didintle,
SACAP only offers the BPsych degree to those who started with us in 1st year, and so you are unable to join in the 4th year.
Kamogelo
I can now understand the difference between Bachelors of Psychology and the Bachelor of Arts. I am certainly going to do Bachelor of Psychology because it offers good qualifications that an undergraduate has to take a long way to complete.
Thank you for the the important information that many of the undergraduates did not know.
tsietsi lewele
I m doing BA Psychological counselling with unisa and it is my second year,what I want to know is that what must I do to join your institution so that I can do Bpsych? I have already passed 18 modules with unisa.
I will apreciate your help.

Lebogang
Hi I just want to find out, if a person is currently doing BA Psychology and wants to now do BPsych, will they be accredited for the BA Psych degree or is it not possible?
SACAP
Lebogang,
Unfortunately, in order to be accredited with a BPsych degree, you would need to have studied it from 1st year through to the 4th and final year.
Lindsey Walsh
Good day,
I just read your article on the bpsych and have been utterly disappointed that UNISA’s bpsych has just been suspended as I took the degree for the intention of getting a bpsych, this years finish my undergrad and am looking at institutions that do bpsych in Cape Town, and have found nothing, do you know of other places that offer honors that are bpsych equivalent? Is it possible to study SACAP’s bpsych in the 4th year only or only for students who started from 1st year?
Thanks in advance.
SACAP
Lindsey
Unfortunately you are not able to apply to SACAP for the 4th year, as the BPsych Degree is awarded to those who who studied it from 1st year. You may have to apply for honors at institutions that offer it to those with BA degrees
