Psychology Work experience

I am currently doing A2 psychology and would like to pursue my career in clinical psychology. Do you know where I can get some work experience for this as I am struggling so much to get any? Thank you :smile:

Hi :smile: I know someone in her second year of clinical psychology and for her work experience she went with the police force for a week! Although it's not directly associated, she was able to link skills she learnt needed for the course so her personal statement was really good! I don't know if a care home or something in that environment would be useful? I'm not a psychology student myself I'm basing this on my friends experience so hope that helps!

Thank you so much!:h: However, I am only in sixth form studying psychology and I want to do clinical psychology in uni which i will be applying for this year. So, i'm not sure if they would allow me since i'm only 17 (turning 18 next month)
