Clinical Psychology

Clinical psychologists assess and treat individuals with a range of physical and mental health issues. Take your first step towards becoming a chartered clinical psychologist with our BPS accredited course. Our career-focused curriculum will provide you with the knowledge needed to tackle real-world challenges, including dementia, addiction and mental illness.

Our course is professionally accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and has a strong practical focus that will build your professional skills alongside your studies, helping you stand out to future employers.

Working in our modern labs, you’ll learn to gather evidence and test theories. We’ll teach you how to design studies, analyse data, and interview people to gain a deeper psychological understanding of their experiences.

You will develop your ethical understanding and cultural competence, both as a scientist and as a citizen. You will learn how to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills and develop the capacity to make a positive contribution to society.

The University is also home to the Association for Dementia Studies (ADS). Established in 2009, the ADS has an international reputation as a centre of excellence in research and education in person-centred dementia care.
