UK requirements Please note the following is for both Home and International applicants: We are unable to consider: Applicants still completing their undergraduate or conversion degrees; Applicants without GBC status (Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership) with the BPS; Applicants with a 2.2 or lower grade at undergraduate level; Applicants who do not meet the King’s College London Postgraduate English language requirements at Band B; Applicants without the equivalent of at least twelve months ’ full time equivalent (FTE) relevant experience in a clinical or clinically relevant research capacity at the time of their application. Applicants for NHS Funded Places (Home Fees) also meet the following criteria: Home Fees Status The right to work without restriction for the duration of the three-year training programme – applicants with visa restrictions (e.g. student visas) will not normally be eligible. Applicants who have started training on an NHS-funded training programme after the 1 st April 2022 (please see here for further information) will not be eligible for a place on the Programme until 2 years after the award for the training is recommended by a qualifying examination board. Clinical and Research Experience Minimum requirement of twelve months full time equivalent (FTE) relevant experience in a clinical or clinically relevant research capacity at the time of application. The length of experience can be gained in a number of roles but should equate to twelve months in total when adding up the FTE months of relevant experience within your application. Due to the high number of applications, please note the following: Experience gained during an undergraduate placement or voluntary work undertaken before degree completion will not be regarded as sufficient on its own. It is recommended that candidates have spent a minimum of 6 months in one of their roles Whilst there is not a formal FTE requirement on the amount of research experience, it is highly unlikely that candidates without such experience will be successful in their application. Candidates without experience of carrying out assessments, behavioural interventions and observations and/or treatment programmes with clients in a clinical or research capacity are very unlikely to be short-listed for interview. It is important that any such experience acquired is described in detail in the application. Experience can be gained in any type of environment, whether within the NHS, another healthcare body or in private practice and be either paid or voluntary, as long as it is relevant to the field of clinical psychology. Please see the information below regarding roles and responsibilities that are considered relevant experience. Positions for relevant experience include Assistant or Research Psychologists. Other roles are also considered as long as they meet one or more of the following criteria: Supervision by a clinical psychologist (or equivalent mental health practitioner) Familiarity with clinical populations and settings Substantive (voluntary) position (preferably within a statutory setting, e.g. Local Authority Mental Health volunteer) Face-to-face contact with service users (e.g. graduate primary care worker, nursing or healthcare assistant).
