Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in Hatfield United Kingdom | University of Hertfordshire

At the time of applying, minimum entry requirements at the University of Hertfordshire for NHS funded places are as follows:

graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the BPS at the time of applying. Candidates who are unsure about the status of their degree should check with the BPS that they qualify for GBC
a 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent). Please enter the percentage score achieved on your Clearing House application by the class/grade for any degree including masters
applicants with a 2:2 degree will only be considered if they can demonstrate this is unrepresentative of their academic potential by demonstrating further academic capability. For example, a strong performance in a relevant academically-oriented higher degree
if applicants have undertaken a PGDip conversion course, then they need to have included psychology modules on their undergraduate degree, achieved over 60% on scores and sent in the PGDip transcript. If applicants have undertaken a masters conversion course, they need to have achieved above 60% (please state what percentage was achieved in the qualifications section and send in the transcript)
two years' full-time equivalent (twelve months for self-funding applicants) clinical and/or research experience will be required (usually obtained after graduation) in a field relevant to clinical psychology. The exact nature of the experience may vary, but candidates need to demonstrate that their work experiences have allowed them to develop a clear understanding of the roles and abilities required of clinical psychologists and that they have the potential to meet these demands. Candidates should be able to demonstrate some experience in applying psychological theory in a clinical setting, realism about the scope of psychological interventions, and an appreciation of the role of the clinical psychologist in the NHS

candidates must have a commitment to working in the NHS, ideally within the local regions of West Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. It is important that those who accept places on the course are prepared to travel to placements, which are sited across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and West Essex.

We encourage applications from candidates whose first language is not English, but we will need to be provided with evidence of an English language proficiency of IELTS level 8 (with no score below 7.5 in each test element: listening, reading, writing and speaking) or equivalent. This is only required for candidates when they do not have a degree or master's level qualification in English.
