However, this course has been informed by the undergraduate accreditation of our Clinical Psychology Courses (Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the British Psychological Society) and the taught Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClin Psych). It is designed to enable you to progress between these two important levels of training, eventually leading to a career as a professional in psychology.
MSc

|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You should have a minimum of an Upper Second class honours degree in psychology recognised by the British Psychological Society as conferring Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC: or an equivalent International professional body). The reason for restricting entry to those with GBC is that the course is intended as a gateway to a doctoral training programme in clinical psychology, for which GBC is required. If you have a Lower Second Class honours degree in Psychology you may be considered for a place on the course providing you can demonstrate strengths in both Research Methods and Statistics, and clinical psychology or related subject areas. All applicants are considered on their own merits. A minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent qualifications. In your personal statement you should communicate your suitability for this course, and what you are hoping to gain in the long-term from undertaking this MSc course. It would be helpful also if you reflected on any work (voluntary or paid), research, and/or life experiences that have relevance to clinical psychology/mental health. You should reflect on and articulate any learning, insights and understanding gained from these experiences. |
