In this course, you will develop advanced expertise in psychological assessment, case formulation, diagnosis, intervention, evaluation and research. With a strong focus on evidence-based practice, you’ll integrate current research with clinical decision-making to support effective care.

Through supervised training and placements in real-world environments, you’ll put your learning into practice. These experiences will help you build confidence in applying your knowledge and skills across a range of psychological presentations and professional settings.

You’ll also undertake a research project in clinical psychology or psychological practice, which includes planning and conducting research, analysing data and writing a dissertation.
