Our Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (ClinPsyD) provides professional training that qualifies graduates to register with the Health and Care Professions Council. The British Psychological Society (BPS) accredits this program, granting Chartered status upon completion.

This comprehensive course integrates academic instruction, research projects, and hands-on clinical placements for professional development.

You'll learn to implement psychological treatments by adapting various therapeutic models to meet client needs across different healthcare settings.

Our faculty brings diverse expertise across multiple specialties and therapeutic approaches. While emphasizing cognitive-behavioral methods like similar programs, we also train students in systemic, psychodynamic, and behavioral techniques. During the second year, you can select your preferred specialization area. Additionally, we prepare you for NHS organizational challenges by helping you recognize, evaluate, and enhance your leadership capabilities.

Qualification Requirements

You must have at least a 2:1 degree or recognised equivalent at undergraduate level and you will need to provide a certificate or transcript showing your degree level at the time of applying. We welcome applicants with higher degrees which should ideally be in a clinically relevant area. Unfortunately, we do not accept applicants with a 2:2 at undergraduate level, even if they have a Master's or PhD. Whilst people who have taken conversion courses are not at a disadvantage in our process, we do require their original degree to be 2:1 or above.

We also require evidence of competence in research methods as evidenced by a score/rating of at least 60% on the undergraduate research dissertation noted on the undergraduate transcript. Applicants who do not yet have an undergraduate transcript, or who have completed a conversion course without a detailed transcript, would need to provide formal evidence of research competence from the awarding University. This could take the form of an academic referee commenting specifically upon these competences, including explicit reference to the applicant's scores on research and statistics modules.
