Applied degree or not?

Would you want an applied psychology degree or a psychology degree for a psychology phd?
I want to study pyschology at Durham university but I don't know whether I should do applied or not. I will most likely go on to a phd in psychology as I want to be a Consultant Psychiatrist.

I think the main difference for applied degrees is in the options that you can do at third year. At durham however, i think the applied degree is taught by a completely different department in the stockton campus (rather than in dirham).

If you want to do a PhD, its probably not best to do an "applied" degree, since this is only better for people who want to do things like counselling or clinical work.

Also worth mentioning that to become a psychiatrist you need a medicine degree. ALso, a PhD isn't used to become a practising psychologist, you need a doctorate in clinical psychology (im not sure what that entails, but its not a phd) http://careers.bps.org.uk/area/clinical
