Yes, you can apply directly to MSc Clinical Psychology programs in the UK after your psychology degree. Universities like Southampton, Exeter, Kent, Bangor, and Reading offer these courses. In Ireland, clinical psychology training is only through a doctoral program, not MSc. Remember, a UK MSc won’t qualify you as a clinical psychologist; you’ll need a doctorate for that. Consider gaining clinical experience if you plan to pursue doctoral programs later.
