Why choose this programme

Our professional clinical psychology training is based on a unique combination of psychological theory, research and clinical practice within the NHS, delivered in an inclusive and supportive environment
Benefit from our applied and policy-orientated teaching and research which has a strong theoretical context
Upon successful completion of this course, gain the academic and practice requirements needed to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) to work as a Clinical Psychologist.

What you will study

You will begin your training with six weeks of teaching where you’ll be introduced to the NHS and will gain a solid foundation to working psychotherapeutically in clinical settings. This first teaching block will introduce you to using cognitive behavioural therapy and systemic/ family therapy, to prepare you for your first placement. You will then start your clinical practice, spending two and a half days a week on clinical placement, two days at the University for teaching or research, and half a day completing individual study. This pattern will largely continue for your three years of full-time training.

During this time, you’ll build up the breadth and depth of your clinical skills and knowledge in applied psychology, therapeutic skills and leadership competencies, meaning that by the end of the course you’ll be equipped to work with a wide variety of different clients in different contexts. The programme embeds inclusion, equality and diversity at the heart of all aspects of the course, promoting inclusion and anti-discriminatory practice, enabling trainees to work with people from all backgrounds.
