Forensic Clinical Psychology Doctorate application guide

Please include in this statement your reasons for pursuing the course, qualities that you feel make you a good candidate for the course and experiences and/or learning relevant to the course.

At the end of the statement, can you please clearly detail how you intend to fund your place on the course (this is not included in the 750 word limit)

We require a hypothetical research proposal as part of the application process. You can choose to present research you wish to carry out as part of your doctorate or in an area of interest to yourself. Please ensure that any proposal covers both forensic and clinical elements and would advance the evidence base if completed. All standard elements of a research methodology should be commented on. You are not expected to follow through with the proposed research project if your application is successful, rather this is an assessment of research knowledge.

When asked to identify a supervisor, please select any of the course team: Owen Forster, Juliane Kloess or Stephanie Wilson.

Please upload an up to date CV detailing your academic qualifications and your work experience. All experience, paid or voluntary, will be considered. If you have received supervision from a qualified psychologist as part of any role, please make this clear in the CV.

Please note this section is optional, non-completion will not impact how your application is considered
