Demographic considerations for clinical psychology admission

H. G. made this Official Information request to University of Otago

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for H. G. to read a recent response and update the status.

From: H. G.

Dear University of Otago,

I reviewed with interest the following OIA request: https://fyi.org.nz/request/28406/respons.... I would like to follow up on question 8 of this request - ‘does the selection process consider demographics for admissions, if so, which aspects and to what extent’. As such, could you please respond to the following questions?

Does the selection process for interviews and places in the clinical psychology programme take demographics into account when making selections (formally or informally)?

If so, please advise which demographics are taken into account, e.g. gender identity, sexuality, ethnicity, age.

If demographics are taken into account, please also how demographics are used when making selection decisions. For instance - is someone more likely to be selected for an interview and/or place in the programme if they are male rather than female, homosexual rather than heterosexual, Māori rather than Pākehā, or middle-aged rather than a new graduate, etc?

Please also advise whether applicants with postgraduate degrees are more likely to be selected for interviews and/or places in the programme than those with undergraduate degrees only.

Thank you for your time.

Yours faithfully,

H. G.
