Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology

University of Hertfordshire

A 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent). Applicants with a 2:2 degree will be considered if they can demonstrate this is unrepresentative of their academic potential, and have demonstrated further academic capability, such as strong performance in a relevant, academically-oriented higher degree. Extenuating circumstances impacting on degree results will also be considered. If applicants have undertaken a PGDip conversion course, then they need to have included psychology modules on their undergraduate degree and achieved a mark equivalent to or above a 2:1 or 60% on that degree. If applicants have undertaken a masters conversion course, then they need to have achieved above 60%. Candidates must have a commitment to working in the NHS, ideally within the local regions of 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 Essex. Candidates are expected to show understanding of professional issues for Clinical Psychologists in the UK, and to demonstrate personal qualities and interpersonal skills suitable to the role.
