Clinical Paediatric Neuropsychology MSc

UCL (University College London)

Study clinical paediatric neuropsychology on this Master’s degree. It is currently the only paediatric neuropsychology Master’s degree in the UK that is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). You will learn all the relevant theory and be trained to interpret clinical case presentations. Completing the course will mean you’ve met the requirements of the Knowledge (and possibly also the Research) dimension of the BPS Training in Clinical Neuropsychology (TiCN). If you are a qualified HCPC-Registered clinical or educational psychologist, this course gives you the foundation you need to build a specialism in paediatric neuropsychology. You will learn all about the techniques, methods and contemporary findings in the field, working with UK-wide and international clinicians and research experts in paediatric neuropsychology, neurology and neurodevelopment. This course includes hands-on training in how to interpret clinical case presentations within the context of current scientific findings of developmental brain-behaviour relationships. You will also delve into the major professional, ethical and service delivery issues in assessment and rehabilitative work, considering neuropsychological practice across contexts and different patient groups. The course is jointly taught by experts at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH), and you will get to work on an MSc project, supervised by researchers and clinicians from the university and/or hospital. The clinical route is open to qualified clinical and educational psychologists on the Health and Care Professions Council Register (HCPC). Counselling Psychologists are encouraged to contact the Course Directors to discuss an application.
