EFPSA has grown a lot during the past few years as nowadays the Federation includes 25 psychology students' organisations of 25 European countries. Through these member organisations EFPSA represents around 250'000 psychology students. Apart from these member organisations, there are also organisations from some countries observing the discussions regarding the EFPSA issues, heading to become EFPSA members in the near future.

Who can become an EFPSA member?

EFPSA does not have individual membership. Members are national, local and regional psychology students' associations of European countries.However not more than one national or regional organisation or two local organisations per country can hold the EFPSA member status.

How to become a member?

Organisations from all countries recognised by the Council of Europe can become members of EFPSA.

Organisations from countries that are not recognised by the Council of Europe can be taken into consideration as Regional Members. To become a regional member, the Region has to fall within the boundaries of the member states of the Council of Europe. The Region further has to be recognised as a country by at least 50% of the governments of countries where EFPSA has members. Regional Membership is a temporary status. Change of the status can either be that the Region loses support from more than half of the countries who have membership with EFPSA, or that the Council of Europe accepts the region as a country.
