The clinical training aspect of the course focuses on helping you develop skills in assessment and treatment of patients with common mental health problems through three comprehensive modules in low intensity cognitive behavioural therapy (LICBT).
The clinical component is supplemented by a placement in the University’s innovative Health and Well-Being Clinic, allowing you to apply the skills learned in lectures under the supervision of a qualified clinical supervisor.
There are two routes through this programme, meaning the second component is either the completion of a dissertation module or two specialist modules relevant to working in a Talking Therapies service. The dissertation route will give you the opportunity to work with a supervisor to produce an original thesis.
