Please note that entry to this program is competitive and meeting the minimum entry requirements does not guarantee an offer.

Applicants will be ranked and short listed based on their average percentage across their fourth year of study, references, and personal statement. Short listed applicants will be invited for an interview.

The selection interview aims to identify applicants who have a demonstrated interest in clinical psychology, an awareness of clinical issues, and are personally suitable for clinical practice, with sound interpersonal and relational skills. We are looking for applicants who demonstrate the capacity to achieve high levels of scholarship, to be responsive to diversity, and to handle the stress and demands of clinical training.

Offers will be issued subject to the outcome of the interview.

Interim grades will be used for ranking where applicants are still completing their fourth year. Final grades provided after the short-listing process is complete will not be considered as part of the ranking or shortlisting process.
