Answer 1

A neuropsychologist holds a doctorate degree - usually a Ph.D. They also require at least a one year interneship or residency. So, after four years of undergraduate, you are looking at minimally five additional years of training. And that would be at the low end. Many take longer than that to finish their degree. So if you add that up, you looking at nine or more years of post-secondary schooling.

Answer 2

In the UK, because you don't need to be a Chartered Neuropsychologist, you can obtain a 3 year undergrad degree in Psychology and then take a 1 year postgrad Masters degree in Neuropsychology (Leeds University does one). Then you can work as a Neuropsychologist. But, I can't see it lasting like this for too long, as every other Psychological Division is going the Chartered way, with Psychologists requiring 2 years extra to get their Chartership.
