NHS-funded places
People training on NHS-funded places are employed by the NHS as Trainee Clinical Psychologists while they study. So for NHS-funded places you need the right to work in the UK without restriction.
A student visa is not enough for an NHS-funded place.
We are not qualified to tell you whether you have the right to work in the UK or not.
If you are unsure of your status please check either of the following:
- the UK Visas and Immigration website
- the information provided by your local British Embassy
The UK and the EU
For NHS-funded places you need the right to work in the UK without restriction.
Irish citizens have the right to work in the UK due to the Common Travel Area arrangements.
Other EU, EEA and Swiss citizens do not automatically have the right to work in the UK: you are asked in your Application to give details about your right to work.
You may be asked by courses to provide further evidence of your right to work. Your email software may treat emails from the courses as junk or spam, so please check your Junk/Spam folder(s) regularly.
We are not qualified to advise you about your right to work in the UK.
For further information you may find the following websites useful:
- Common Travel Area - UK Government guidance for Irish citizens
- EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) - UK Government guidance for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens already living in the UK
Residence requirements for all applicants
All applicants, including UK and Irish citizens, should also check the residence requirements as this is assessed separately to the right to work requirements.
- Please see the Entry Requirements section for residence requirements
