This course is delivered in partnership with North Bristol Trust, a regional department of the UK National Health Service (NHS). You will therefore learn about the theory and practice of clinical neuropsychology from experienced clinicians working in this area and gain an authentic understanding of clinical practice in the UK. Around 80% of our taught content is delivered by practising clinicians.
We are passionate about neuropsychology and its application to society to improve the symptoms, well-being and quality of life of those affected by damage, disease or dysfunction of the brain. This course is therefore designed to train and inspire the next generation of clinicians, researchers and allied professionals interested in working in neuropsychology.

If you later become a qualified clinical, counselling or educational psychologist in the UK, your MSc can be retrospectively recognised as meeting one of the key professional requirements for entry to the BPS Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (the highest possible qualification in clinical neuropsychology). Should you wish to become a qualified clinical neuropsychologist, this could save around two years future study time and the cost of paying for a BPS-accredited Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology.
