Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

BMAT or UKCAT

Hi,

sorry if this is in the wrong section!

I am planning to do a doctorate master degree in psychology,

Is clinical psychology the name for being a doctor psychologist :s-smilie:

I was aware that I did not need to do any of these exams since they are only for docotrs and dentists students,

Am I right? or do I need to do this exam?

Thank you, I hope I haven't confused anyone :smile:

Clinical psychologists are not doctors, they are psychologists who are focussed more on treating people than research.

I'm not sure what you mean by "doctor psychologist". If you mean a doctor who deals with mental health, that is a psychiatrist. If you are talking about a psychologist who treats people, that is a clinical psychologist.

As far as I am aware you don't need to take either.

Edit: why the hell was I negged? If you think I am inaccurate, please let me know.
