Develop advanced research skills relevant to clinical psychology. You also gain a broad understanding of mental health service provision.

We offer this course in collaboration with the Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. You’ll learn from our faculty who have research strengths in psychopathology and clinical psychology, as well as guest lecturers including local practitioners.

The course is for you if you are a psychology graduate and you’re seeking a place on:

- a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology course

- other mental health professional training

- a clinically relevant PhD.

You can also apply if you are an existing professional in other health-related disciplines. We offer supervision across a range of topics, encompassed by our research groups in Biological Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental and Clinical Psychology, and Social and Applied Psychology.

We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
