Study Details: MSc 2 years part-time
Gain up-to-date knowledge of clinical psychology theory and practice.
Throughout this degree, you’ll follow a scientist-practitioner model. This means that your clinical practice will be grounded in research and implemented using scientific methods.
This approach will deepen your knowledge of psychological models, scientific principles, and contemporary research in clinical psychology, and allow you to consider its translation and application to real-world problems.
You’ll study different ways of understanding mental health problems in adults and children, and share insights into relevant theories and the latest practice models applicable within the UK. Alongside this, you’ll develop your understanding of evidence-based practice.
You’ll also be introduced to the foundational skills of clinical psychology - these include interviewing, observation, and psychometric assessment.
