Abstract
Summary The aim of this research was to ascertain the views of applicants to educational psychology training courses regarding the prospect of changing the existing 1‐year Masters course to a 3‐year Doctorate. To date a number of groups within the profession, including principal educational psychologists and course tutors, have been surveyed. However, applicants to educational psychology training courses had not been consulted. An anonymous questionnaire was sent to the 219 individuals who applied for a place on the MSc course in Educational Psychology at University College London commencing in September 1997. Of these applicants 131 responded and their completed questionnaires were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Implications for the introduction of 3‐year courses and for the funding of training are discussed.
