Before interview
Not named on the Clearing House list of courses using short-listing tests. Short-listed applicants are invited straight to interview; the course aims to interview between 120 and 150 applicants.
Neither the Clearing House nor the course names a test. That is an absence of a statement, not a statement of absence.
At interview
In 2027 the course aims to have one main interview panel focusing on personal, clinical, research and academic competencies, made up of a programme member, a local NHS clinical psychologist and an Expert by Experience. All applicants who attend receive written feedback.

Practice here will not help with the test
If you have applied here
No short-listing test is named for this course, and its published interview does not use scenario tasks. Practice here will not move the needle.
What to do
- Read the course’s selection page and prepare for the competencies its panels actually assess.
Where this site does not help
- There is no test to prepare for, and this course’s published interview does not use clinical scenarios. Your effort is better spent on the application form and on the competencies its panels ask about.
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 Southampton, the Clearing House, the BPS or the HCPC.
