Equal opportunities

Categories review

Updated equal opportunities monitoring

We have updated the categories used in equal opportunities monitoring this year.

Thank you to everyone who provided comments in the review process.

Some categories in this year's process will therefore differ from those in the data sets from previous years.

Data categories

This shows the questions and categories we use in collecting the data below.

Data for clinical psychology applicants

We use the information you give to produce national data for all applicants and successful applicants, which you can download below.

Making this data public reflects the wish of the clinical psychology training community to be open about the data and to make it available to applicants and to others who may find it useful e.g. for research.

This data is anonymised so no applicant is identified, and we also group together some categories with small numbers to maintain anonymity.

Data for undergraduate psychology students

We also have data from HESA (Higher Education Statistics Agency) for graduates from undergraduate psychology degrees from 2010 to 2015.

This is for disability, ethnicity, gender and age and may be useful for comparison with the data above for clinical psychology applicants.

Please see the HESA website if you need more information about how they collect their data.
