Clinical Forensic Psychiatry

Applications from non-EU students: we aim to process these as soon as possible after receipt of all information required.

Applications from Home/EU students: assessed at a selection meeting in early July.

Applicants are not normally interviewed but occasionally an applicant may be telephoned invited in for an informal chat to clarify points arising from the application, and to ensure that the applicant is clear about what would be involved in taking this programme.

No application can be considered until full details of academic and employment history are received, including transcripts and copies of degree certificates. We also require two references, one clinical and one academic, or two clinical where at least one referee can comment on the applicant's research/report-writing skills.

It is essential for UK-based applicants to ensure that they will have adequate study leave to attend teaching and undertake the considerable amount of private study required to complete the programme successfully. Applicants will be asked to confirm this before places can be offered.

No information required, but we do expect applicants to make full use of Sections 3, 5 and 8 (education, employment details and personal statement) to provide us with evidence that they have the necessary experience and academic background to cope with this very demanding programme.

Most applicants are self-funded. Some overseas applicants have been successful in obtaining government funding or international scholarships. Part-time applicants are sometimes able to secure full or partial funding from employers using CPD budgets.
