At Bristol, we see clinical neuropsychology as representing the interface between the biological, psychological and social facets of human behaviour. This programme covers elements of basic human neuropsychology, with a strong focus on clinical neuropsychology. You will learn about a range of neuropsychological disorders and pathologies, as well as focusing on principles of assessment, formulation and rehabilitation. We also cover neuroanatomy, neuroscience methods and theories of brain function.
This degree is delivered in partnership with North Bristol NHS Trust. The taught content of the Diploma is identical to the taught content we provide when training UK qualified clinical psychologists to specialise in clinical neuropsychology. The programme therefore covers core content dictated by the British Psychological Society and delivers an authentic reflection of clinical practice in the UK.
While this programme is not formally accredited by the BPS, if you complete this Diploma and go on to study a BPS-accredited doctorate in clinical psychology or counselling psychology, your Diploma may be retrospectively recognised as meeting one of the key professional requirements for entry to the UK BPS Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists. Should you wish to become a qualified clinical neuropsychologist, this retrospective recognition could save around two years study time and cost of paying for a BPS-accredited Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology.
Around 80% of our taught content is delivered by practising clinicians, and you will receive weekly online clinical tutorials (during term) that allow you to discuss different aspects of programme content and help prepare you for a range of career options. This programme is suitable for those looking to pursue a research career, professional positions (such as an Assistant Psychologist) or further clinical training (such as a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology).
All aspects of delivery are identical to the UK-based programme. All lectures are streamed live online and recorded for you to replay at any point, and exams/timed assessments are online.
This diploma is also available as a Bristol-based programme. We also offer both a Bristol-based and online MSc in Applied Neuropsychology. The Bristol-based MSc includes a research project, whereas the online MSc involves a more clinically focused project.
