You study core psychology modules, alongside specific clinical psychology related modules to develop a deeper understanding of the more challenging sides of human experience, from working with mental health difficulties, dementia and suicide, to the impact of trauma and bullying. You explore how a person’s history can impact on their present day, and also how to help alleviate their distress.

You develop relevant clinical skills relevant to careers in sectors including education, housing, mental health services, housing, charities, or to further study on our Doctorate courses.

Clinical skills are developed by assessment (including administering tests and interviewing patients), how to make sense of a patient’s story, to resolve some of their clinical issues and how to develop an evidence-based treatment plan.

You matter – and will be part of a community which encourages you to find your voice to make a valued and meaningful contribution, with professional and personal supervision, and support specific to your needs.
