South Wales

All places on the programme are NHS funded via the Welsh Government / Llywodraeth Cymru.

There are no self-funded places on the programme for either home or overseas fees status applicants.

Trainees are recruited annually, and 28 training places were commissioned by the Welsh Government in 2026.

Current trainees are employed on NHS Wales agenda for change contracts: Band 6 Trainee Clinical Psychologists.

Travel and necessary accommodation and subsistence expenses are reimbursed according to Agenda for Change rules, and University registration and initial examination fees are paid.

Each trainee has access to additional funds to support research (£600) and personal development (£800).  Access to these funds is dependent on an appropriate justification being put forward.

Training contracts are for a period of three years and are only extended in exceptional circumstances.
