If you are working in health, social work or education, and want to build your career in child and adolescent mental health, this course is ideal. You will work with UCL’s experts at the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (UCL GOS ICH) to build your clinical, professional, academic and research skills, and gain invaluable experience in applying them to clinical practice. There are also opportunities to network and attend events through the GOS ICH Centre for Paediatric Mental Health, which is focused on researching mental health in the context of paediatric physical health problems. As you become confident in analysing principles of policy, planning and management, you will also learn about the impact of culture and diversity on clinical theory and practice, in the context of working with children and young people. The course covers all key aspects of child and adolescent mental health, including neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodivergence, treatment aspects including evidence-based psychological and pharmacological therapies, adaptations and wellbeing, school mental health and international child mental health. We also run a module, which introduces students to clinical skills in child and adolescent mental health, where you can enhance your skills in a virtual simulated clinical setting.
This Master’s degree provides the ideal foundation for doctors, psychologists and practitioners in social work and education looking to focus and develop their careers in the areas of child mental health. Recent graduates have gone on to apply for Clinical Doctorates in Psychology, to apply for Children and Young People’s Psychological Therapy Training courses, PhD, or had opportunities for progression in their current careers.
This course is particularly relevant if you are a psychology graduate looking to progress onto further clinical psychology training, or if you’ve studied child psychiatry and want to supplement your basic training with a higher degree. The course is closely aligned to the Royal College’s recommended curriculum. Students from social work, nursing and education backgrounds will benefit from acquiring advanced skills in the theory and practice of working with young people with mental health difficulties. Graduates have gone on to work for organisations such as the NHS, Camden Council, the World Food Programme, and schools and universities in the UK and abroad.* *Graduate Outcomes survey carried out by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), looking at the destinations of UK and EU graduates in the 2019–24 cohorts.
