Hey Meena

No you need not to.

In order to become a neuropsychologist, you need to obtain a doctorate degree, a Ph.D. in neuropsychology. A Ph.D. can take approximately five to eight years of coursework including a research project (your dissertation) and an exam. To obtain a Ph.D., you first need to obtain a bachelor’s degree. A bachelor’s degree can usually be completed in four years of full-time coursework. You can obtain your bachelor's degree either in psychology, biology, or pre-med.


After your bachelor’s degree is complete, you can either go into a master’s degree, or more ideally, go straight into a Ph.D. program. Ph.D. programs can be very competitive, though, so you will want to gain as much experience and knowledge while in undergrad (and in your master’s, if you take this route) as you can. The main courses you will need to take may relate to the history and theories of psychology.


You may take certain courses related to developmental, cognitive, biological, and personality psychology. You may also obtain a specialization in neuropsychology or take courses specifically related to this area while completing your degrees to show interest and obtain knowledge in the field. Especially in your Ph.D. program, may learn about brain functioning and anatomy and neurological disorders, as well.

I hope it helps.
