Psychology andwork experience
I study psychology in uni and I was wondering what time of work experience would I need? Should I apply to a mental health hospital? Do I need it? I'm confused about the work experience but apparently it'll be good. Where should u start and what places should u apply to?

You can volunteer for MIND, any work work within the hospitals I guess. 24h helplines are a good idea too.
what do you want to do after uni?

Can I apply to a psychiatric hospital? Would they accept students?

do you mean a clinical psychologist?
look at the path you need... you'll need a good mark in your degree, with good dissertation, several years experience (usually low paid) and then do a competitive 3 year doctorate
for now any voluntary work with vulnerable groups- mental health, teaching assistant, mentoring, homeless, drug/alcohol, disability etc

It's possible they will have health care assistant roles but they won't take you as a volunteer
