I am interested in clinical and neuro psychology. If these two don't work out then I'd prolly go for counselling psychology.

well, it isn't necessary. atleast not in the UK. if your degree isn't a first class honours then it is recommended to do a masters.
otherwise, after completing your bachelors you need work experience and then apply for DClinPsy.
in other countries i think it is mandatory to do a Masters.

There is a great article about this on the British Psychological Society website which is well worth a read https://www.bps.org.uk/public/become...ons-psychology
In order to be a fully qualified 'psychologist' in a field you need to complete doctorate level study

Hi there,
My name is Ivaylo and I'm a Student Ambassador at Coventry University, I'm also a MSc Health Psychology student.
I'm happy to hear that you are interested in clinical psychology as I myself am an aspiring clinical psychologist. To become a clinical psychologist you need to:
1. Take either an undergraduate (first) degree in psychology, or an undergraduate degree in a different subject followed by a psychology conversion course. Make sure that your psychology degree or conversion course is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
2.Get a lot of experience that relates to clinical psychology (usually several years’ worth).
3.Take a clinical psychology doctorate (a higher level degree), which again needs to be accredited by the BPS. This combines university study with actual work.
Hope that helps!
Ivaylo
