Self-funded places

There are self-funded places available at the course centres listed below. Most of these courses require you to have overseas fees status.

• Please see the Entry Requirements section if you need information about fees status

For these self-funded places you need to provide your own funding e.g. by funding yourself, by getting a scholarship, by organising sponsorship, etc. You need to fund all of your costs for the three years of training e.g. course fees, living costs, travel expenses, etc. Please check the information provided by the centres concerned to see how much their course fees are.

The following course centres are also considering the possibility of accepting self-funded applicants. If such places become available you will need to apply directly to the university. Please follow the links for more information:

• University of Plymouth

NHS places

People training on NHS places are employed by the NHS as Trainee Clinical Psychologists while they study. So to apply for an NHS place you need the right to work in the UK without restriction.

A student visa is not enough for an NHS place on clinical psychology training.

We are not qualified to tell you whether you have the right to work in the UK or not. If you are unsure of your status please check either of the following:

• the UK Visas and Immigration website
• the information provided by your local British Embassy

The UK and the EU

As explained above, to apply for an NHS place you need the right to work in the UK without restriction.

The UK left the EU in 2020. Irish citizens have the right to work in the UK due to the Common Travel Area arrangements. Other EU, EEA and Swiss citizens do not automatically have the right to work in the UK: so you are asked in your Application to give details about your right to work here.

You may be asked by course centres to provide further details/evidence of your status. Your email software may treat emails from the course centres as junk or spam, so please check your Junk/Spam folder(s) regularly.

We are not qualified to advise you about your right to work in the UK. For further information you may find the following websites useful:

• Common Travel Area - UK Government guidance for Irish citizens
• EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) - UK Government guidance for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens already living in the UK

Residence requirements for all applicants

We would also recommend that all applicants, including UK and Irish citizens, check the residence requirements for clinical psychology training as this is assessed separately to the right to work requirements.
