Programmes only got the final batches of applications yesterday.

Hi Sam, Lancaster will be sending you an email asking you to get in touch if you have any disabilities which will impact your performance on the screening tests so that we can identify reasonable adjustments for your particular circumstances. There is guidance on our website about this if you have a...

Yes courses are all different. However, when talking about entry requirements, you might be forced to look at the more progressive courses regardless of what you want to do.

Can we setup an auto response that just tells everyone to apply to Lancaster?

Absolutely. Clinical Psychology isn't special - you can demonstrate the competencies in lots of ways.

To reiterate, some programmes put no emphasis on it whatsoever.

This is really disheartening to hear from Clinical Psychologists. Nor is it by any means true of many programmes around the country who are looking for your potential. If you apply to programmes that match your values and experience then there is no issue here.

There are dozens of websites which provide tests you can take - just search for them. Some are after money from you but many are not.

Many of the Lancaster trainees return from mat leave part time. You have a right to request flexible working under law...

I suspect the response you will get will vary from programme to programme.

Indeed - if you were looking at 'Lancasteresque' programmes then neither work nor academic history is going to be an issue.

Where were you thinking of applying? The course centres you are interested in will significantly change the nature of the answer to your question.

I agree completely. I would push as hard and as far as you can go with that appeal.
