This MSc 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 and gain a truly authentic understanding of clinical practice in the UK. Around 80% of our taught content is delivered by practising clinicians. At the start of training, students can opt for studying either adult or paediatric clinical neuropsychology.
We are passionate about clinical 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 clinical neuropsychology.
The programme consists of five taught units and an empirical dissertation.
The taught content on this MSc is identical to the training we provide for qualified UK clinical psychologists. We are one the only universities in the UK to offer identical training for adult clinical neuropsychology and paediatric clinical neuropsychology.
