For full details of entry requirements and application process, please see our course page Clearing House for Postgraduate Courses in Clinical Psychology.
All applications must be made online through the Clearing House for Postgraduate Courses in Clinical Psychology. There were 60 NHS-commissioned places for entry in 2026.
Academic requirements
We welcome applicants with a good academic record and a minimum 2:1 degree in psychology, or a 2:2 together with a postgraduate degree in a field related to clinical psychology.
We also welcome applicants whose first degree is in a subject other than psychology, provided they have completed a BPS-approved conversion course or the BPS examination conferring Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC).
We do not accept applications from candidates who have not yet completed their undergraduate or conversion course. At the time of application, you must have GBC.
Equality, diversity and disability
We positively welcome applicants from all sections of the community and hope that our intake reflects the diversity of the communities in which graduates will subsequently work.
We welcome enquiries from applicants with disabilities to discuss the requirements of the course and any adjustments that may be needed during the selection process or once on the course.
Our host NHS Trust, North London Mental Health Partnership, is a Disability Confident Level 1 organisation, and Royal Holloway is a Disability Confident Level 2 organisation. However, because of the large number of applications to the course, we cannot guarantee an interview to applicants with disabilities who meet the minimum criteria.
