Overseas qualifications, proof of graduate basis for chartered membership (gbc).
Relevant work experience.
To be eligible to apply through the EPFT scheme you must
* A candidate will still be eligible if they can provide formal evidence of graduand status at the time of application. This could be in the form of a communication from your university confirming your award status. This evidence should be forwarded to your chosen doctorate course providers directly.
The residency requirements for the funded scheme are harmonised with Student Finance eligibility. You can find their residency criteria here: Student finance: Eligibility - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
EU Candidates
The following guidance has been published by the DfE for EU citizens wishing to apply. These guidelines come into effect from the 2021 intake onwards.
British Nationals in Hong Kong and UK nationals in British Overseas Territories
The following resources are available for those holding BNO passports, or UK nationals in British Overseas Territories:
To be eligible for the GBC of the British Psychological Society you must have one of the following:
Academic qualifications awarded in the Republic of Ireland that confer eligibility for Graduate Membership of the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI) are also recognised for GBC.
You do not have to be a member of the BPS to apply for the EPFT scheme if you hold qualifications accredited by the BPS or the PSI that confer eligibility for the GBC.
If you were awarded your psychology degree by a university in the UK or the Republic of Ireland but are unsure whether you are eligible for GBC, please contact the BPS for advice on 0116 254 9568 or emailing [email protected] . Alternatively, a full list of the accredited undergraduate courses can be found on the BPS website: www.bps.org.uk/find-course
If you obtained some or all of your required qualifications overseas you will need to obtain confirmation that you are eligible for GBC, usually through the process of applying successfully to the BPS for Graduate Membership. Further details can be found on the BPS website: www.bps.org.uk . When applying for an EPFT place you must enter your BPS membership number and provide evidence that you are eligible for GBC membership of the BPS. Further details can be found either on their website: www.bps.org.uk , or by contacting their Partnerships and Accreditations Team (PACT) on 0116 252 9563 or emailing [email protected] .
You must have completed the qualification that grants you eligibility for GBC before the application deadline. If you are shortlisted for interview by a university, you will be required to bring written confirmation of your eligibility for GBC to your interview. A letter confirming your eligibility from the director of the relevant degree course or from the BPS is acceptable evidence.
Some universities may accept an application if you hold a 2:2 (‘lower second’) degree. In this case you must have both extensive experience and completed further professional development. You should consult with your chosen universities before applying if you hold a 2:2.
A good command of written and spoken English is essential. If your first language is not English, you must be able to provide recent evidence in your application form that your spoken and written command of English is of the required standard. The only acceptable English qualification for the course is the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Academic. An overall grade between 7.0 and 8.0, with a minimum of 7.0 in each of the sub-tests, is required.
You must complete the application form and references in English.
Universities will expect you to have the equivalent of a minimum of one year’s full-time experience of working with children and young people within an educational, health, social care, youth justice, childcare or community setting by the application deadline. This can consist solely of paid employment or a combination of at least nine months full-time (or equivalent) paid employment and the equivalent of three months full-time sustained relevant voluntary experience. For these purposes, ‘one year full-time’ would usually be taken to mean at least 37 hours per week for 52 weeks. Thus, someone working part-time for 18.5 hours a week would usually require two years’ employment to meet the ‘one year full-time equivalent’ requirement.
Relevant work experience overseas will be considered as part of your application.
University course requirements may vary slightly. Therefore, before completing your application we advise that you read the guidance on the websites of the institutions that you are interested in.
Universities will be looking for knowledge and understanding of:
If you are a UK resident who is temporarily travelling or working abroad you can apply for an EPFT scheme place. You must be able to attend an interview in person if invited. However, if you are currently living overseas you must be able to satisfy the nationality/eligibility requirements in order to be eligible for funding.
The Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for funding the EPFT scheme.
Under the EPFT scheme, funding allocated to successful candidates covers tuition fees for all three years of the course, and a bursary for the first year, all of which will be paid to the university by the DfE on the candidate's behalf.
Second and third year bursary/salary arrangements, self-funded training places, alternative sources of funding.
In your first year, the university will pay the bursary directly to you. The amount you will be paid is:
Arrangements for the second and third years of training vary. Most employers offer practice placements during which you are paid a bursary, while a small number offer employed posts where you are paid a salary.
Individual universities determine whether to offer places for self-funding students and, if so, how many. If you are interested in applying for a self-funded place, you must contact the relevant university directly. The DfE does not cover any of the costs for self-funded trainees.
You must apply for a self-funded place directly to the university offering such places, not through the EPFT online application system. You can apply for both EPFT scheme and self-funded places but you must inform the AEP if there is any change to the status of your EPFT scheme application.
The EPFT scheme is currently the only funded Educational Psychology training scheme in England.
Are part-time and fast track routes available, can i apply if i have a criminal conviction, what is the process for applicants with disabilities, what happens if i withdraw my application, can i defer my employment at the end of training, what if i have long-term absence from the course (over three months including sickness and maternity leave), do i need a teaching qualification or experience, can i apply if my psychology undergraduate qualification was acquired abroad, can i practise in the uk if i am an internationally qualified educational psychologist, or will i need to complete the doctorate, is there an age limit to applying for an epft place, how likely is it that government funding for educational psychology training will continue.
The high demand for EPFT places means that deferred entry is not possible.
At present, educational psychology and EPFT funding is available only as a full-time three-year course.
All courses involve work with children, so if you are successful in your application you will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) criminal record check organised by the university. More information on the DBS check can be found at: www.gov.uk/government/organisations/disclosure-and-barring-service
If you have any concerns about what information the DBS check will reveal you should raise this with the university.
Please note, if you have convictions it may prevent you from being accepted on the EPFT programme. Should you reach the shortlisting stage a decision regarding your application will be considered on a case by case basis, in consultation with programme directors and Principal Educational Psychologists (PEPs).
If you have a disability it is suggested that you contact the university before you apply to ascertain how they can best meet your needs. You should do this at the earliest opportunity to allow universities sufficient time to make any necessary arrangements.
Should you want to withdraw your submitted application prior to accepting an offer then you must do this by the online system. If you withdraw you will not be able to submit a second application in the same year. The AEP will hold your information until the close of the application year.
Waiving of the obligation to seek employment as an educational psychologist, in England, for at least three years after qualifying is only possible under exceptional circumstances. Extended travel or gap years do not count as exceptional circumstances.
In the event that a long-term absence results in your needing to repeat an academic year, there is no guarantee that the course will still be running at the establishment you were previously studying at when you return from your absence.
There is no longer a requirement to have a teaching qualification, although work experience of the education system is valued by course directors.
If you acquired some or all of your qualifications abroad, the British Psychological Society will be able to advise you if they are eligible for BPS Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC). They can be contacted at www.bps.org.uk or on +44 (0) 116 254 9568.
The Health and Care Professions Council will be able to advise you, they can be contact via their website www.hcpc-uk.org or on +44 (0) 845 300 6184.
There is no age limit. For more information on this please visit www.aep.org.uk/ epft-report .
The cost of the training is currently split between the Department for Education and employers (namely, local authorities, some private enterprises and schools).
The DfE have agreed to commission Educational Psychology training for three cohorts, beginning their training in September 2024, September 2025, and September 2026. The third of these cohorts, beginning their training in 2026, will be subject to funding being agreed. There is also an option to extend for a further 12 months, at DfE’s sole discretion.
The high demand for EPFT places means that it is not possible to make any conditional offers. You must have completed the qualification that grants you eligibility for GBC before the application deadline.
Practice placement vary each year, as the course is dependent on local educational psychology services and school partnerships providing a placement plus a bursary or salary. These would ordinarily be in:
We would also recommend you contact the university (s) you are thinking of applying to, as they will be able to advice you on where their placements are commonly available. It is sometimes possible because of the consortia arrangements, that if you’re on a course some distance from you family, to request a practice placement closer to home. For example, if you are at the University of Nottingham, but your family is in Cumbria, the University of Nottingham on your behalf can approach Manchester to see if there are any placements in Cumbria. This isn’t guaranteed, and you will not be able to transfer university as the course content and awarding bodies vary.
Trainees are able to express their preferences and most universities have practice placement panels, which try as best as they can to accommodate these.
Applicants should note:
Data protection and references, procedure for processing applications, shortlisting and interviews, offers under the epft scheme.
All applicants need to ensure that they submit two references: an academic and a relevant work experience reference. We do not expect referees to provide highly detailed and extensive references and a focus on the criteria outlined below will be sufficient. It is important that referees are able to confirm that you are known to them and that they provide a brief statement relating to suitability of your academic skills or experience relevant to training as an Educational Psychologist.
Academic Reference We anticipate that the majority of applicants will be able to provide an academic reference from an academic known to them. However, in the rare circumstances where this is not possible a reference written by another professional colleague would be acceptable so long as this focuses explicitly on academic skills. It is important that in these circumstances the referee addresses the academic competence criterion, this could be by commenting on CPD you have undertaken and how you use your psychological knowledge and research/evaluation skills.
Academic referees are asked to provide an assessment of the applicant, particularly in the following areas:
Work Experience Reference Your current or most recent employer should provide a relevant experience reference. It may be helpful to know that references are required to proceed beyond the initial shortlisting stage but it is the confirmation of suitability rather than the detail that is important. [To fulfil safeguarding requirements please note that if you are temporarily working in a role that does not include relevant experience with children or young people, or have been working somewhere less than 3 months, you can ask a third referee to provide a reference in addition to your current employer].
Relevant experience referees are asked to provide an assessment of the applicant, particularly in the following areas:
Where possible, referees should complete an online reference. If this is not possible we may make alternative arrangements for them to provide their information via email or post. We can upload this information directly onto the application system. Referees are asked to contact us about this at [email protected] as soon as possible. Please note: AEP support is available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm. We aim to respond within two working days.
The AEP operates in compliance with data protection legislation. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you a right to access the data we hold about you. However, GDPR also imposes on us a duty of confidentiality to third parties, which includes referees. We are not able to disclose references without the permission of the referee. We will not process requests to view a reference until the application deadline has passed. If you would like to view your reference before this time, please contact your referee directly.
Your completed application can be accessed by your chosen universities as soon as you have submitted it. However, universities are unable to see which other institutions you have selected.
Shortlisting and interviews will take place after the application deadline and be completed by the interviewing deadline. If you are shortlisted you will be called for an interview directly by the university or universities concerned.
If you are unsuccessful in your application, the university will update the status of your application on the online system to let you know their decision.
The participating universities will make all offers for EPFT scheme places by 12pm, 20th March 2024. If one or more universities offer you a place your status on the online application system will be updated to show that you have been made an offer and you should also receive a separate notification by email or letter from the university.
Applicants are permitted to accept only one EPFT scheme place, all others must be rejected. Participating universities will not automatically be made aware that an applicant has accepted an offer elsewhere and, therefore, rejected their offer. To do this you must respond to each individual offer through the online system. Please note that you do not have to give a reason for your decision.
You will have 7 days from receiving your offer to accept or decline an EPFT scheme place.
If you do not respond within 7 days you will be considered to have withdrawn from the application process. The scheme place will be offered to another applicant.
Once you have accepted an offer of an EPFT scheme place this decision is final and cannot be changed.

Educational Psychology
Now in its third edition, Educational Psychology offers a comprehensive overview of how key advances in social, developmental and cognitive psychology impact upon the role of educational psychologists working today. Written by leading researchers, the book also explores controversies and dilemmas in both research and practice, providing students with a balanced and cutting-edge introduction to both the field and the profession.Fully revised throughout, and with a new chapter exploring how educational psychologists work with schools to support children and young people’s mental health, this third edition aims to encourage students to integrate their understanding of core psychological disciplines, as well as to consider what ‘evidence-informed practice’ really means. Organised into two broad sections related to learning and to social, emotional and mental health, the book features a selection of vignettes from educational psychologists working in a range of contexts, as well as tasks and scenarios to support a problem-orientated approach to study.By integrating both research and everyday practice, the book is unique in engaging a critical appreciation of both the possibilities and limitations of educational psychology. It is the ideal book for any student wishing to engage with this important and evolving field of study - Provided by publisher.

PGR handbook - School of Environment, Education and Development
The following content is taken from the Standards for Doctoral programmes in Counselling Psychology published by the British Psychological Society (2017, p.6).
It has been included to provide students with a broad introduction to the developing profession of Counselling Psychology and to outline the overarching aims of such a programme.
These provide a foundation for the more programme specific introduction provided in the next section.
Counselling psychology is a distinct profession within the field of psychology whose specialist focus is the application of psychological and psychotherapeutic theory and research to clinical practice.
Counselling psychology holds a humanistic value base that goes beyond the traditional understanding of human nature and development as passive and linear and views human beings and their experience as inherently dynamic, embodied, and relational in nature.
Its aim is to reduce psychological distress and to promote the wellbeing of individuals by focusing on their subjective experience as it unfolds in their interaction with the physical, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions in living.
Counselling psychology takes as its starting point the co-construction of knowledge and as such places relational practice at its centre.
The therapeutic relationship is therefore considered to be the main vehicle through which psychological difficulties are understood and alleviated.
The University of Manchester’s Doctorate in Counselling Psychology is a pluralistic therapeutic training programme that acknowledges that “any substantial question admits of a variety of plausible but mutually conflicting responses” (Rescher, 1993, p.79; see also Cooper and McLeod [2011] for a discussion of pluralistic counselling and psychotherapy). It adopts a stance that values the social and political contexts in which the profession of counselling psychology has developed and in which therapeutic work is undertaken. Furthermore, it values the phenomenological intersubjective experience of those involved in the therapeutic process. With this in mind, the person seeking support is viewed as an active agent of psychological change with whom any intervention should be centred (see Bohart and Tallman [1999] and Duncan et al [2004] for more discussion on client-agency within therapy). Such a collaborative view values the scientist-practitioner model of professional practice (e.g. Lane & Corrie, 2006) and is increasingly supported by the research exploring the effectiveness of psychological therapies (e.g. Wampold & Imel, 2015; Hanley, Cutts, Gordon & Scott, 2013; Cooper, 2008).
The pluralistic framework for counselling and psychotherapy (Cooper & McLeod, 2011; Hanley, Cooper, McLeod & Winter, 2017) and the Skilled Helper framework (Egan, 2010) are used as harnessing features to the programme. In utilising these approaches the programme embraces the notion that there are common factors to successful therapeutic relationships. In particular, it aims to sensitise trainees to the three components conceptualised by Bordin (1994) within their work as counselling psychologists. These are that a therapeutic alliance will consist of:
In such a framework, the agreement between both (or all) parties upon the therapeutic activity becomes paramount when considering the overall effectiveness of any intervention. This framework acts as scaffolding for trainees to make sense of the numerous tensions that are present within the core therapeutic models that are presented within the programme.
Within the first year of the programme, trainees are supported in understanding the key postulates of humanistic psychology (Bugental, 1964) and the core competencies of humanistic counselling (Roth, Hill & Pilling, 2009). This approach has its foundation in the person-centred approach (e.g. Gillon, 2007) and introduces trainees to the model of psychological change first proposed by Carl Rogers (1951; 1959) and subsequently developed by contemporary thinkers (e.g. Hanley, Scott & Winter, 2016; Cooper, 2007; Mearns & Cooper, 2018). Fundamentally, the emphasis of this year is upon the importance of the relationship within therapeutic work.
Within the second year, trainees will consider the core competencies of cognitive behavioural therapy (Roth & Pilling, 2007). Trainees will be encouraged to reflect upon therapeutic interventions and models of personality development in line with the original proponents of the approaches (e.g. Beck, 1976; Beck et al. 1979; Ellis, 1962) and more contemporary thinking (e.g. Ost, 2008; Trower et al, 2011). These models of change will be considered in relation to those presented within the first year of the programme and the differences and similarities between them reflected upon in relation to the integrative frameworks provided by the pluralistic approach and the skilled helper model.
In addition to input around the above therapeutic approaches, trainees will engage in professional input activities focusing upon generic professional issues. These will include coverage of core Standards of Proficiency (HCPC, 2015), lifespan development (e.g. Sugarman, 2001), and models of psychopathology and psychopharmacology (e.g. Davey, 2007; Bentall, 2009). Trainees will also consider working with ‘difference and diversity’ in counselling psychology, harnessed through theoretical frameworks of social justice and intersectionality (Chung & Bemak, 2012; Cutts, 2013; Davies, 2000; Lago, 2005; Winter, Guo, Wilk & Hanley 2016; Winter & Hanley, 2015).
Trainees will be encouraged to learn through doing with regular skills activities and video assessed work. Complementing the structured theoretical input and practical sessions will be substantial placement activities (a minimum of 450 hours working as a trainee counselling psychologist). These will be delivered in a range of placement settings (between 2 and 5 over the course of the three-year programme). Trainees are required to complete therapeutic practice hours in a minimum of two modalities (e.g. individual therapy, group work, couple therapy, family therapy), with two different client groups (these may be defined and vary according to, for example, age group of the client or presenting issue), and in the two different therapeutic models taught on the programme (i.e. person-centred counselling psychology and cognitive-behaviour therapy informed counselling psychology). They will be well supported by appropriate placement providers and trainees will be required to attend supervision at a ratio of 1 hour per 8 client hours as a minimum.
In line with the scientist-practitioner model of training (Belar & Perry, 1992), emphasis is placed both on therapeutic practice and research (Hanley, Lennie & West, 2013). Trainees are required to complete a number of research papers in years one and two of the course, in addition to the 50,000-word thesis submitted at the end of the third year. The counselling psychology research group ‘Education and Therapy’ (EaT) sits within the Manchester Institute of Education and conducts research primarily across three main areas: (1) therapy in educational settings, (2) applied psychologist education, and (3) psychology, inequality and education. This reflects the research conducted by the core staff team, and trainees are required to focus their research in or across these research areas. Applications to the programme are considered alongside the staff team’s ability to supervise research projects.
Personal development also plays a major part in the programme. Trainees are encouraged to develop as reflexive practitioners (through course activities and clinical supervision) and to regularly consider their own growth during the programme. Additionally, trainees are required to undertake 40 hours of personal therapy. It is anticipated that these personal development activities will help to consolidate trainees’ integration of psychological understanding with personal learning, their understanding of how the scientist-practitioner works alongside being a reflexive practitioner, and in a ‘way of being’ that proves congruent with personal values and allows appropriate navigation of professional roles.
Assessment will reflect upon the philosophical, theoretical and practical components of the programme. This will take the form of theoretical papers, case studies and practice reports related to placement activities. It will also involve conducting a substantial research project to be presented as a final thesis. Each of these pieces will represent a contribution to the body of psychological knowledge regarding the discipline of counselling psychology.
The key aim of an accredited programme is to produce graduates who will:

Saul McLeod, PhD., is a qualified psychology teacher with over 18 years of experience in further and higher education. He has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Clinical Psychology.
The mesosystem in Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model represents the connections between different microsystems in an individual’s life. It encompasses the interactions and influences between various immediate environments, such as home, school, peer groups, and neighborhood.
These interconnections play a significant role in shaping a person’s development by demonstrating how experiences in one setting can affect another.
For instance, a child’s home life may influence their school performance, or their behavior with peers might impact family dynamics.
By examining these interactions, we gain insight into the complex web of relationships that contribute to human development.
Understanding the mesosystem is crucial for recognizing how different aspects of an individual’s life interact and collectively impact their growth and well-being across various contexts.
The mesosystem in Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory focuses on the interconnections between different microsystems in a child’s life. Here are some examples:
The relationship between a child’s family and their school is a prime example of the mesosystem.
Specific examples:
The mesosystem also encompasses the interplay between a child’s family and their peer group.
Beyond family, school, and peers, the mesosystem can also include:
It’s important to note that the mesosystem isn’t just limited to these examples. Any two microsystems in a child’s life can interact to form a mesosystem, and these interconnections highlight how experiences in one area can influence a child’s development in others.
While Bronfenbrenner’s work established the importance of the mesosystem, the rapid evolution of technology, particularly the rise of the digital world, means we should re-examine the mesosystem.
Recent research acknowledges that technology has blurred the lines between traditional microsystems, leading to new interactions and influences that Bronfenbrenner’s original framework couldn’t have anticipated.
Despite this, many researchers continue to apply outdated versions of Bronfenbrenner’s theory, which neglects the important concept of proximal processes and fails to account for the influence of technology.
This misapplication hinders a nuanced understanding of how modern mesosystems function and underscores the need for an updated theoretical framework.
Navarro & Tudge (2022) propose the neo-ecological theory, adapting Bronfenbrenner’s model to the digital age.
This introduces the concept of virtual microsystems (e.g., social media, online gaming communities, virtual learning environments) and recognizes that proximal processes now occur within these virtual spaces.
These virtual microsystems mean that there are more opportunities for mesosystem interactions, e.g.,
Key insights:
This modern approach is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of child development in the 21st century.
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the critical role of mesosystem connections in youth development.
O’Regan et al. (2023) highlight how the crisis disrupted traditional microsystem interactions, revealing:
The authors argue for strengthening mesosystemic connections post-pandemic, emphasizing:
This research suggests that enhancing mesosystem connections can serve as a protective factor, particularly for disadvantaged youth, and play a crucial role in post-pandemic recovery and resilience-building efforts.
The mesosystem, highlighting the interconnected nature of a child’s various environments, offers valuable insights for parents and educators seeking to support healthy child development.
By understanding the dynamics of the mesosystem, they can leverage these connections to create a more supportive and enriching experience for children.
