Entry requirements: Doctor of Clinical Psychology

To be eligible to enter our short listing process applicants will need to have the following:

• We normally require a mid to high upper second or first class Honours Degree in Psychology.
• Applicants must be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the BPS. For this reason we do not normally consider current undergraduates.
• If English is not your first language and your university qualifications were not taught and examined in English, you need to submit evidence of your ability to study and work through the medium of English with your application. This should be a TOEFL or IELTS test. The minimum scores needed are: 100 for internet-based TOEFL, 250 for computer-based TOEFL, 600 for paper-based TOEFL or 7.0 for IELTS with no element below 6.5.
• All applications must have two suitable references. See the Clearing House web pages for guidance on appropriate referees. You should select referees who are suitably qualified and who know you and your work well enough to make informed and specific comments on the areas on the reference form.

Overseas applicants

Overseas applicants should have already made enquiries concerning GBC, have explored the likelihood of obtaining an appropriate work permit, and be prepared to attend a selection interview. Only applicants from the European Union or the European Economic Area will be eligible for NHS funding as regards salary and fees; The Course does not recruit self-funded trainees.
