The Applied Educational and Child Psychology Doctorate (App Ed and Child Psy D) is a research degree and professional training that confers eligibility to apply for registration as practitioner psychologist (educational) with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The Applied Educational and Child Psychology Doctorate (App Ed and Child Psy D) programme is approved by the HCPC and accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS).
The Educational Psychology tutor team are committed to creating a caring, and inclusive environment in which everyone feels they belong, fit, and may thrive. We welcome, value, and embrace diversity in our trainees and tutor team, such as differences in cultural backgrounds, race, ethnicity, disability, age, class, religion or belief, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We aim to embed this commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion in our teaching and learning practices, our tutorials, our curriculum, guest speakers, placements, research, and other events. We actively engage with the impact of structural oppression through our curriculum and understand that this involves a continuous approach to learning for us all. We are therefore committed to examining our practices to ensure that our course prepares trainees for the diverse communities with whom educational psychologists work.
Employability
The Applied Educational and Child Psychology Doctorate sets out to ensure that by the end of the training, graduates are able to demonstrate the standards of the proficiency required by the Health Care and Professionals Council (HCPC), to enable graduates to apply to join the register maintained by the HCPC. Registration is a necessary condition for practice as an educational psychologist within the UK.
In parallel, the programme conforms fully to the British Psychological Society’s programme accreditation criteria, and addresses the learning outcomes specified for educational psychologists by the Society. Graduation from the programme therefore enables past trainees to apply to the Society for chartered membership as educational psychologists.
To date all graduates of the App Ed and Child Psy D programme have secured posts as local authority educational psychologists upon completion of their postgraduate professional training.
Entry requirements are set by the Association of Educational Psychologists and full details may be found on their website.
