Advance your expertise in clinical neuropsychology with the Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology.
Accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), this 100% online course is designed for qualified psychologists seeking continuing professional development (CPD) or those aiming to meet the ‘knowledge’ component for entry onto the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (SRCN).
Delivered through an engaging and easy-to-navigate online learning platform, this course offers a flexible and structured approach to learning. You’ll access pre-recorded lectures, live webinars, podcasts, interactive activities, and online discussion groups, all designed to fit around your professional and personal commitments.
With expert academic and professional support throughout, you’ll develop the confidence, critical insight, and applied knowledge essential for success in clinical neuropsychology practice.
Each themed module is delivered in manageable three-week blocks, keeping you motivated and on track, whilst semi-structured group discussions will help consolidate your learning and enhance your collaboration and communication skills, highly valued in clinical settings.
The PGDip is ideal for professionally-registered clinical counselling psychologists who wish to improve their practice-based knowledge and competency relating to clinical work with clients (or patients) with long-term neurological conditions and/or acquired brain injuries in any setting, in the community, in clinics, neurorehabilitation units, or acute hospitals.
