This diversity of options allows students to tailor a programme that closely fits their needs. This programme will equip you with the research skills needed to undertake doctoral-level research and/or to collaborate in major research projects.

All students undertake a final research project. This is reported as a research paper of up to 7,000 words ready for submission to a specified journal, a blog of 1,000 words and a 20-minute talk. The programme is designed for academically inclined mental health professionals, including trainees, and for graduates with excellent degrees in psychology and other relevant disciplines who have already obtained some post-graduation experience in mental health. A high-level of interest in the principles and practicalities of carrying out research is needed. This programme is also available on a modular (flexible) basis, with a duration of 5 calendar years.
