Entry requirements

We have two entry requirements: One is a degree in psychology, or other degree plus a conversion course (at diploma or masters level), and eligibility at the time of application for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) of the British Psychological Society (BPS). We do have specific requirements for applicants' degree classification in that we require a 2:1 or above at undergraduate, or a Merit or above for a Master's conversion degree. We welcome applicants with an interest in learning from their life experiences, both personally and professionally.

The second entry requirement is relevant experience of at least one year whole time equivalent (not including undergraduate placements). This will preferably comprise evidence of several months in a single role. It is helpful to have had clinical experience that has been supervised by a qualified clinical psychologist and to have current understanding of the profession of clinical psychology.
