Research, applied and professional-training master's degrees, kept distinct.
A psychology degree does not automatically qualify a graduate to practice as a psychologist. Professional registration depends on the jurisdiction and usually on specific accredited training.
Some master's degrees are research-oriented and prepare for doctoral study; others include supervised practice. Check whether a program leads to registration in your own jurisdiction.
