This programme covers elements of basic human neuropsychology but has a strong focus on clinical neuropsychology. This degree is delivered in partnership with a regional department of the UK National Health Service (NHS).
The taught content of the MSc is identical to the taught content we provide when training UK qualified professional Clinical Psychologists who wish to specialise in Clinical Neuropsychology. The programme delivers an authentic reflection of clinical practice and clinical training in the UK. You'll learn about a range of neuropsychological disorders and pathologies and focus on principles of assessment, formulation, and rehabilitation. You'll also develop your knowledge of neuroanatomy, brain function and techniques employed to study the human brain.
Around 80% of the course is delivered by clinicians practising in UK hospitals and we teach a range of clinical skills which will support those seeking a career working with patients or conducting clinical research. Weekly online tutorials (during term) with Clinical Neuropsychologists allow you to interact with professionals and learn from their experience. The MSc focuses on evidence-based approaches and recognises biological, psychological, and social factors which impact upon brain injury, disease and the patient experience.
The programme includes a clinical dissertation in which you will study material drawn from clinical cases developed by clinicians to support learning and include complexities you might expect to find in clinical practice. The cases consider diagnoses, formulation and rehabilitation. The dissertation includes 1:1 career mentoring, further training in clinical assessment and consideration of cultural differences in the principles of assessment and treatment.
While this programme is not formally accredited by the BPS, if you complete the MSc and go on to study a UK BPS-accredited doctorate in clinical psychology or counselling psychology, your MSc may be retrospectively recognised as meeting one of the key professional requirements for entry to the UK BPS Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists (the highest possible qualification in clinical neuropsychology). If you wish to become a qualified clinical neuropsychologist in the UK, this could save around two years of study time and cost of paying for a BPS-accredited Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology.
