I have never met a UK psych undergrad who knew there was stats and they tend to think it's a huge shocking thing and initially (at least) dislike it and resent it.

Fair, but even though their precise knowledge is inaccurate they do have a correct understanding that the quant skill requirements in psych are << those in physics, maths.

My point was in the UK they have already done teaching coding to all years of undergrad — just like they go from t-test to linear regression and more over the 3 years in stats.

Basically my point boils down to: in the UK the tide has turned and we teach undergrads to code "against their will" just like we teach them research methods/stats "against their will".

Yes, exactly! "Poor little undergrads (mostly women) can't do a thing like code, oh, no." It's rampant.

I didn't say that, just that it might not be worth the time investment for them. Clinical students (e.g.) have a lot of specialized skills to cram into their limited curriculum. We need to be consider what is best for them.

I don't disagree with you on that at all. It's very tricky. Currently in the UK, due to accreditation rules by the BPS, there is a huge bias towards the clinical people. So I am coming at it from a different perspective to you.

Massively massively so.
