NEW SEARCHClinical psychology is a branch of psychology which uses both theory and practical knowledge to better understand how people think and behave. Clinical psychologists perform the assessment, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illnesses, and address emotional difficulties in people of all ages and backgrounds.
To study a doctorate in clinical psychology, you’ll need a minimum of a second-class honours undergraduate degree in psychology or an equivalent postgraduate qualification if your undergraduate degree is not in psychology. Work experience is also usually required in order to have a realistic chance of being selected, and this can include work in a healthcare setting or a background in clinical research involving direct contact with patients.
There are more than 50 doctorate courses available in the UK, and around 550 funded places on this type of programme. Completing a PhD in clinical psychology allows you to work at the highest levels within the profession.
A doctorate in clinical psychology is a three-year degree course, combining academic study and clinical training. Specific modules will vary between universities; however, it is recognised that the majority of graduates will go on to work in the NHS, and the programming is designed to ensure that graduates will be able to meet the client needs and organisational requirements of the public health service.
You’ll be trained to the standards of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and your course should carry the accreditation credentials of the British Psychological Society so that you can achieve chartered status and enter professional practice.
As an interdisciplinary field which includes both practical and research work, clinical psychology is a versatile PhD option that can lead to careers as researchers, practitioners, educators, policymakers and many more.
