Hi, I have joined the forum with the view of obtaining some advice on a career-change into clinical psychology. My academic background isn’t exactly tailored for the traditional route into CP - I have a 2:1 degree in international relations, have served some time in the armed forces as an officer a...

I tried to find it as well but I wasn't successful. Sorry Elfie
It's very strange that older research is still stuck behind a paywall. I am really looking forward to a time when research will be more readily available.

Thank you for the link! That looks like a very interesting course. Are you currently enrolled? What do you think about it so far?

Just wondering, with coursera etc., would you put them on your CV? It depends on the course and how big is your CV. If you are just starting out, having some nice certificates from good universities in interesting courses might be worth mentioning. If you already have a Masters or above, maybe not ...

Thanks everyone for your replies. There was a rumour one trainee dropped out of my university a few years back but it is not talked about openly so I'm unsure if having serious doubts during the course itself are common. I'm nearing the end of my first year as a trainee and my heart feels like it i...

I guess my main questions at the moment are: 1) Would my poor A-levels count against me at this stage if I've since demonstrated my ability? 2) Will my experience of mental health issues be looked down on? Obviously I'm aware that I need to be well to pursue this path, but I feel that my experience...

Aaand they have all places accepted.
Somehow this doesn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. Sorry for the bad news.

After getting no interviews this year I thought I would post PhD at Sheffield :D Hey that's pretty awesome! Congratulations Hozc and graduateak! :cheers: I think this probably deserves its own topic. It's great that you'll be starting your own journeys this fall. Who knows where they might lead? It...

Sprinkles wrote:Hey,
No I've heard from Glasgow yet either

Thanks for replying. Let's hope we get to hear from them this afternoon. I'm looking forward to have this wait over, one way or another.

Excellent! Lots of movement for Glasgow then!! :) Thanks Blue, that's very kind-- I really really hope you get in too!! One thing is for sure- We all have nerves of steel! Good luck everyone!! One last try, has anyone had any news from Glasgow today? I'm guessing almost everyone turned in their fin...

Hi guys,does anyone know if NHS trusts hold interviews for AP posts over skype?cheers It depends on the trust, but it is very unlikely. I tried a couple of times and was always denied. However, research posts are more flexible in this regard, particular the ones in universities. Not all will agree ...

Blue86 and Sprinkles! I have accepted a place at Edinburgh and have hence withdrawn from the Glasgow reserve list. Maybe that will help a tiny bit---as we know, we DON'T know where on the list we are but I hope it helps you guys. Just one more thing- I was the most unlikely candidate, messed up one...

Leeds has all places accepted as of yesterday (June 5th)

Sooo.. Leeds has all places accepted, they just emailed. I guess that's another reserve list down. :( Any more news on Glasgow? Sorry to hear that Blue86. I'm desperately trying to think if I interviewed you and if so which one you were now!!! Thank you, Astra. I'm not sure you did, because I was t...
