About this degree

The Psychology and Trauma (Adult) PG Dip equips students with an up-to-date evidence base in trauma theory and practice. Foundational modules focus on key theories in the field, refining your understanding of how exposure to traumatic events shapes an individual’s experience over the lifespan. You will learn about the potential mental health consequences of trauma, including behavioural difficulties, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD and personality disorders, as well as evidence-based practice for prevention and intervention for trauma with children and families. The course takes a multi-perspective approach spanning neuroscience, cognitive and behavioural theories, and systems theories. The programme also considers important systemic, cultural, and global contexts, and explores trauma and psychology across varied lenses and sectors, such as public health, education and social care.

Couldn't be happier anywhere else! Really good private halls. Some of the course isn't as good though, what they 'sell' isn't quit right, not much psychology involved. UCL..Read more
