Applied Paediatric Neuropsychology MSc

UCL (University College London)

Learn all about the science underpinning clinical paediatric neuropsychology on this one-year Master’s degree, jointly delivered between UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH). The course is for outstanding psychology postgraduates not yet qualified as clinical or educational psychologists – or for international clinicians not registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The course covers all key areas of the syllabus recommended by the British Psychological Society (BPS) Division of Neuropsychology, to give you a solid foundation in the techniques, methods and contemporary findings of developmental cognitive neuroscience. You will work in close collaboration with UK-wide, and international, clinicians and researchers within UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (UCL GOS ICH), other neuroscience and psychology departments and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Through your studies and MSc research project, you will get first-hand experience of how to interpret clinical case presentations within the context of the latest scientific findings of developmental brain-behaviour relationships. The skills you go away with will put you in a strong position for research or psychology assistant roles, or going onto further research. This course is suitable for graduates or overseas professionals (without HCPC registration) who wish to pursue a research career in paediatric neuropsychology or to obtain scientific knowledge underpinning clinical paediatric neuropsychology prior to seeking qualifications that would enable them to pursue UK Training in Clinical Neuropsychology (TiCN).
