    Doctor of Psychology (DPsych)

    Full-time per year

    Home/UK: £13,100

    International: £17,300

    Where applicable, tuition fees for City's programmes will be subject to inflationary increases in each year of study. Our policy for these increases is set out in our terms and conditions of study.

    Funding

    Explore up-to-date information about funding options, available financial support and typical living costs.

    This is a three-year programme, however a discretionary extension into a fourth year can be granted in order to complete any outstanding research on the final thesis, with additional research fees added proportionally.

    Graduate Loyalty Discount

    We offer City students a loyalty discount upon enrolling on a second course at The City Law School. All you need to do is meet the entry requirements for your second course (postgraduate level) and we will automatically take 10% off of your tuition fees.

    This can be received in addition to receiving a scholarship and will be applied to the second round of payments due.

    Additional costs

    In addition to programme fees, there are some other costs that trainees would need to cover. These include:

    • Cost for personal therapy
    • The purchase of an encrypted recording device for clinical work
    • External clinical supervision, if required
    • Reading materials, if required

    Encrypted recording devices for clinical work

    In order to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) policies it is an essential requirement for all students who join the DPsych programme in Counselling Psychology to purchase a City University of London approved encrypted audio recording device.

    The device costs approximately £300 and is used to record client sessions (with the client’s consent). Recording is an essential part of the DPsych programme as it helps to facilitate clinical learning, supervisors’ evaluations and yearly clinical academic assignments. Information regarding the specific make and model of the device will be provided to you after you have enrolled on the programme.

    External clinical supervision

    If clinical supervision is not to be provided at placement by an Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)-registered Practitioner Psychologist, then external supervision would need to be sought at trainees' expense. The majority of placements that our trainees select, however, do meet this supervision requirement in-house.

    Reading materials

    Many assigned readings are available online and are also available in our library. However, trainees may want to purchase some of the key reading materials assigned.

    Additional expenses

    Some of our degrees may involve additional expenses which are not covered by your tuition fees. Find out more about additional expenses.

    How to apply

    Entry requirements

    Below is a list of countries with information on each about which qualifications we accept. If your country is not listed please email international@city.ac.uk.

    • UK

      There are two stages to the selection process for the Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City: 1) a written application, which is used by the programme team to short list candidates, and 2) an interview process, which is used to select the strongest candidates from the short list. The programme receives a high volume of applications each year. This inevitably means that selection is competitive and applicants who can demonstrate the strongest applications are most likely to be short listed for interview and offered a place. The team makes its decisions on the basis of evidence gathered throughout the application process.

      All applicants must meet the programme’s eligibility criteria before applying, as listed below. Those who meet these criteria should submit a written application using the University’s standard application for postgraduate courses. The written application should clearly demonstrate that applicants meet the criteria.

      Eligibility Criteria

      Degree and GBC

      A 2:1 honours degree or above which confers the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS) (see below) or other first degree with relevant conversion course. The evidence would normally be in the form of a letter from the BPS confirming that you are a Graduate Member and that you have been granted GBC. If you are unsure whether your undergraduate degree confers GBC then please contact the BPS for clarification. If you are currently completing a relevant BPS accredited course you will need to have applied for and been granted Graduate Membership conferring GBC with the BPS, by the commencement of the programme.

      International Equivalences

      If you are applying with an overseas degree, the following is an indication of international equivalents of an upper second class degree from a UK institution. Please note these figures are intended as a guide only and individual applications will be assessed on a case by case basis.

      • China: Bachelor degree (Xueshi) in a suitable subject with an overall grade of 75 – 85% (depending on the standing of the awarding institution)
      • USA: Bachelor degree in a suitable subject with CGPA 3.2
      • India: Bachelor degree in a suitable subject with CGPA 6.5 / overall 65% / 1st Division classification
      • Turkey: Lisans Diplomasi or a Műhendis Diplomasi with a minimum CGPA 3.0 or 65%
      • Italy: Diploma di Laurea in a suitable subject with a minimum score of 104.

      Mental health experience and therapeutic skills training

      Successful completion of introductory training in therapeutic/counselling skills, other appropriate mental health training undertaken for example as a health or social care worker, or equivalent substantial relevant clinical experience. We are looking for training such as certificate-level counselling skills courses (i.e. a course which awards you a certificate on completion); other relevant therapeutic training, e.g. that offered by various levels of the NHS IAPT programme such as for psychological well-being practitioners; or other appropriate mental health training undertaken as a health or social care worker. Equivalent substantial relevant clinical experience will also be accepted.

      We run a five-day workshop at City, University of London which equips you with relevant skills for application to the Professional Doctorate course, although other courses are also available on the market.

      Find out more and obtain a place on the City run Counselling Skills Workshop.

      Substantial experience with face-to-face mental health / counselling work (usually one year minimum). This could include working (paid or unpaid) as a mental health or social care support worker / healthcare assistant in a ward or community setting; a mental health charity; a victim support unit; bereavement counselling; or relationship counselling. The experience we are looking for is more than 'befriending', and is different from having worked for example in healthcare roles other than mental health. You need to show you can talk about a patient / client case, conceptualise the person's problems, and put this within the context of the person's life history and environmental system.

      Research

      The capacity to undertake research to doctoral level will be evidenced through the submission of an original research proposal as part of your application, and through consideration of your prior research learning and experience. The research proposal should be no more than 1000 words and should not be one that has already been submitted as part of another programme of study.

      Submission of this proposal would not necessarily be considered a final choice of research topic if you are successful in your application. In addition to the research proposal, you are required to include a 300-word ‘Service User Involvement Strategy’.

      Further guidance on the research proposal and service user involvement strategy is available in the ‘Guidelines for Prospective Students’ document.

      APL/AEC (Accreditation of prior learning / existing competence) Requirements

      It may be possible to receive APL for certain modules in Year 1 of the programme. A common request is for APL for our module Cognitive Behavioural Approaches in Counselling Psychology. Module APL will only be granted for study at Level 7 (typically High Intensity diploma).

      Any exemptions against practice requirements will only be granted on the basis of competence gained following achievement of eligibility for the GBC.

      DBS Check/Occupational Health

      All students commencing the Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology are required to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check (previously known as an enhanced CRB Disclosure). You are advised to visit the DBS website for further information. The amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected' and are not subject to disclosure to employers, and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website.

      Students are also required to complete an Occupational Health questionnaire prior to admission and to attend an Occupational Health appointment in the first weeks of the course to ensure you have health clearance to practice. Immunisations are required in order to protect both potentially vulnerable service users and the student on clinical placement. Successful applicants will be given specific details of your mandatory appointment during your induction.

      The DBS check and occupational health procedures are designed to check whether you are suitable to do our programme. The costs of them are borne by the programme. They do not assess or give any guarantees about whether someone completing our programme will be registered by the HCPC.

    Conditional offers can be considered for applicants who still have to apply for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership, and/or submit an English language test, but all other documents must be included in your application before it can be considered.

    Receipt of applications will normally be confirmed within one week.

    Interviews are expected to take place from late April to early May 2025.

    All applicants will be notified as to whether or not they are shortlisted for interview after their applications are complete.
