clinical psych phd programs are confusing to apply to

hi! im in undergrad right now but im in the process of starting to research phd programs. i personally want to do my masters abroad (somewhere in the uk, im based in the us) and phd back home.

im really interested in the forensic psych field but there is a limit to the information available online. i know for forensic psych you should complete a phd in clinical psych before specializing but then there also seems to be phd programs directly about forensic psych, which one is better?

also im well aware that when looking at phd's, one of the main components is the "fit" into the program and the research. but i've heard that some programs are definitely better than others (which i partially think is bs but one of my advisors went to a "top" school and constantly refers to it).

regardless are there any clinical psych phd programs that have really good placement for forensic psych (if that's a thing that even exists)?

also literally any advice about applying to phd psych programs def helps, thank you!
