What will I learn?

About This Course

We would like to give you a flavour of what North Wales is like as a place to live and work. Should you end up here, you will spend three years working in one of the most beautiful parts of Great Britain. The School of Psychology and Sport Sciences at Bangor University is renowned for its academic excellence, and our DClinPsy programme is fully accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council, the British Psychological Society and Bangor University.

Because we are a small programme, we respond to our trainees on an individual basis. We regularly collect trainee feedback on the programme, and trainees regularly comment on how family friendly the programme can be. The words ‘friendly’ and ‘approachable’ seem to keep emerging and we hope this genuinely reflects the nature of a programme such as ours.

Although we are small, we offer trainees a wide range of clinical experiences and teaching, often by national leads in that clinical area. We aim to ensure that you have the facilities you need in order to make optimum use of the training we provide.

Entry requirements

For international students

Before applying you should have already obtained a single or joint honours first or upper second-class psychology degree (or a conversion degree)* and you should be eligible for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership* (GBC). We apply similar criteria to a psychology conversion degree, as an undergraduate psychology degree (www.bps.org.uk/membership/eligibility) with the British Psychological Society. We require a transcript of your undergraduate degree or other qualifications, which have given you eligibility for GBC. We review the marks of your final year modules on your transcript and calculate an average, without applying any weighting. Your average score needs to be 60% or above. For courses using different marking systems, we apply the guidance provided to us by the Clearing House on how to interpret other degree classifications. For a conversion course, all your modules will be used to calculate this average. Applicants with 2.2 psychology undergraduate degree will only be considered if they have completed a PhD. We do not award points to non-psychology degrees. If English is not your first language, you will be required to provide evidence that you possess an adequate level of English competence. You need to have obtained level 8 on the IELTS scheme*, with no elements below 7.5.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
