Before interview
The course states: “We do not currently have any additional tests as part of short-listing, but we are reviewing our selection process and therefore this is subject to change.” The Clearing House separately lists Birmingham as considering introducing a short-listing test or questionnaire.
The course says it may introduce a test. Watch its own pages.
At interview
Face-to-face interviews with small panels of programme team members, Experts by Experience and local clinical psychologists. Applicants currently give a short research-based presentation. The course says the exact nature of the interview is subject to change.
- Panel interview
- Presentation
Worth knowing
Both the course and the Clearing House flag this as under review. Check the course's own pages close to the application deadline.

If you have applied here
This course may introduce a short-listing test and has not confirmed it.
What to do
- Read the course’s own selection page before you prepare. It is linked on this page and it is the only authority on its own process.
Where this site does not help
- Whether there is a test at all is not settled. Check the course’s own pages near the deadline rather than relying on this one.
Practice material here reflects what research and first-hand accounts indicate these assessments are like. No course publishes its test, so nothing is confirmed and this site claims no inside knowledge. Not affiliated with University of Birmingham, the Clearing House, the BPS or the HCPC.
