When we can, the ICUPO team enjoys working with student interns - always good to hear their thoughts. Leah Westerman from @ntupsychology.bsky.social has blogged about her development of competences from the #ICUP model: ntupsychology.blog/2025/07/28/p...

The #ICUP model is recommended by the Psychological Association of the Phillippines (PAP)! Find out more about how the #ICUP can be used alongside your national, regional, or local frameworks for #Psychology #PsychologyEducation, see icupo.org #InternationalCompetencesForUndergraduatePsychology

We're delighted to see this paper out in the wild! The ICUPO ethos has always been and will continue to be very much built upon collaboration, collegiality, and cultural responsiveness. Find out more here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
