Affective Disorders MSc

King's College London, University of London

Our Affective Disorders course has been created for a broad spectrum of students and mental health professionals who are interested in specialist training from world-class experts. You will study all aspects of affective disorders, ranging from their characterisation and assessment to the challenges in treating these conditions. Our course is designed to be interdisciplinary, and its focus is on both biological and psychological aspects. It is therefore suitable for students who seek to broaden their knowledge beyond professional boundaries, such as medicine, psychology, or neuroscience. Key benefits A specialist focus for people interested in studying, researching or treating affective disorders. Valuable insight from internationally leading clinicians and scientists specialising in affective disorders. An optional clinical observership in a key mental health service that treats patients with affective disorders. Based at King's Denmark Hill campus, you will be part of a large mental health and neuroscience community where students, researchers and clinicians work side by side. Close links with NHS partners such as South London and Maudsley bring real-world clinical perspectives into your learning, while the smaller, specialist campus helps you build strong connections with staff and peers, in a focused environment just ten minutes by train from central London.
