MSc Global Energy Technologies and Systems Masters

• • A good honours degree (2:1 or above) in psychology that confers Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) from the British Psychological Society. A 2:2 degree classification that confers GBC plus a Masters degree would be considered equivalent to the above criteria. A Masters degree or other relevant academic qualifications would also support an application. Conversion degrees that confer GBC are also acceptable.

• • HCPC requirement of English language proficiency (IELTS level 7.0 with no element below 6.5)

• • Enhanced DBS check

• • No criminal convictions (Psychology is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act so no criminal convictions are ever considered ‘spent’)

• • At least 12 months relevant experience of working in a clinical and/or forensic setting which has involved face-to-face contact with clients under the supervision of a qualified clinical or forensic psychologist (where this is not possible, such as in the case of international students, please contact the admissions tutor for advice on meeting this requirement)

     

• • Candidates should apply through the University of Birmingham

• • More information regarding what needs to be submitted at the application stage can be found on the admissions proforma on the application page

     

The selection process will consist of an interview and a written exercise. The interview will be conducted by a panel of academic staff, practitioners from relevant services and experts by experience. Topics will cover personal suitability and academic/research proficiency. The written exercise will focus on an applied or academic aspect relevant to the practice of both forensic and clinical psychology. Selection will normally be held over the course of a single day.

To help candidates to submit their application, please see the guidance notes in the application proforma.  This will provide guidance on formulating the personal statement, research proposal and inclusion of any work experience.
