Programme-specific requirements

Entry to the DClinPsych is restricted to New Zealand and Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents.

Entry into the Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) is restricted to New Zealand and Australian citizens or permanent residents.

Meeting our academic entry requirements does not guarantee entry. Entry to the clinical programme is competitive, and is based on application, selection and interview. All shortlisted candidates will be interviewed as part of the assessment process. Typically interviews are scheduled in late November. Successful applicants are advised in December/January.

To gain entry into the three-year doctorate, you must first apply for and complete the clinical honours/preparatory year, which includes passing courses in clinical theory and practice and an honours-level dissertation (PSYCH 708, 718, 723, 780 or their equivalents) with a GPA of 6.0.

Successful applicants who have completed an honours or masters programme, but have not fulfilled all the clinical prerequisite courses listed above, must complete these under a bridging programme.

Successful applicants who have already completed the clinical prerequisite courses during prior study will have a stand-down year while others in their cohort complete the bridging programme.
