Undergraduate course for clinical psychology

I want to become a clinical psychologist in the future. I'm starting sixth form in September and will be studying Psychology, Biology, and Maths at A-Level. I'm wondering whether it would be better to apply for a Psychology BSc with a work placement or a Psychology MSci before pursuing a doctorate. I know that after university, I will need to work in a psychology-related role, such as an assistant psychologist or a psychological wellbeing practitioner, for a few years before applying for the doctorate. However, I'm not sure which type of degree would provide better career prospects.

A 2.1 or higher in any BPS accredited undergrad is sufficient. If you can get a placement that will help a bit but generally wont make a huge difference. If i were you i would NOT DO the MSCi course as it uses up your masters funding, which will limit you a bit in the clinical pathway (most people do an MRes or one in a therapeutic modality and an MSCi wont give you the scope of research). Doing an integated MSCi also leaves you no back up options for further study if Clinical Psych does not work out (which for majority of psych grads is likely).
Good luck,
