The Applied Paediatric Neuropsychology programme is designed to provide you with training in the various aspects of the science underpinning clinical paediatric neuropsychology practice. The programme is suitable for outstanding psychology postgraduates who are not yet qualified as clinical or educational psychologists but are motivated to study paediatric neuropsychology at this stage of their career, or for international clinicians not registered with the HCPC.
You will develop an understanding of the techniques, methods and contemporary findings of developmental cognitive neuroscience and learn how to interpret clinical case presentations within the context of the latest scientific findings of developmental brain-behaviour relationships. You will also gain knowledge of professional, ethical and service delivery issues in assessment and rehabilitative work.
Who this course is for
