To be able to work as a psychologist, you need a university degree with psychology as your main subject (possibly with a corresponding specialization) and further training in the area of specialization in accordance with the guidelines of the Federation of Swiss Psychologists FSP and the Swiss Professional Association for Applied Psychology SBAP. The titles Specialist Psychologist FSP and Specialist Psychologist SBAP are legally protected.
