MSc Applied Clinical Psychology

Essential Criteria

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.

A minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent qualifications.

The course aims to foster the development of key skills that will facilitate further academic and vocational training and subsequent employment. Through the skills and knowledge developed during the course, you will strengthen your CV and applications for Assistant Psychologist posts within the NHS, or further competitive doctoral training in clinical psychology (DClinPsy, or ClinPsyD). This MSc course does not provide any guarantee that upon its completion you will be successful in securing these posts and is not BPS accredited. However, the course has been especially designed so that you acquire knowledge and skills in key areas of clinical psychology.
