How Does One Train To Be A Clinical Psychologist?

In New Zealand, Clinical Psychologists are trained in specialised, post-graduate training programmes run by university psychology departments. Usually, a Bachelor’s degree in psychology and concurrent enrolment in a Masters degree in psychology are prerequisites for applying for admission to the clinical psychology training programmes.
