Presencial
Clinical psychology looks at why mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders - and even physical health problems - develop and how they can be treated.
About 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime. If we can understand the issues better, we can make a difference to people´s lives.
Our course will not only give you thorough knowledge and understanding of practical and theoretical issues in mental health and clinical psychology - including assessment, formulation, diagnosis and approaches to treatment - but also teach you the skills to apply scientific research methods.
Studying at our Cambridge campus, an invaluable place to make contacts, you´ll learn from our research-active staff and enjoy guest lectures from clinical psychology professionals. You´ll also benefit from our Lived Experience Project, which sees individuals who have real-life experience of mental health difficulties discussing their personal stories and working with our students.

Assessment
You´ll be assessed through essays, portfolios, exams, presentations, poster presentations, debates, data analyses and a final dissertation module, which is worth one-third of the total course assessment.
We´ll equip you with academic and research skills that are important for further professional training in clinical psychology. You´ll also gain relevant, transferable skills for employment in other mental health and carer environments.
