Clinical Psychology in Practice (C8002)

15 credits, Level 6

Spring teaching

This module will give you an insight into aetiology, assessment, treatment, and service provision in clinical psychology in the UK.

Topics covering the following are presented mainly by practising clinical psychologists with expertise in these areas:

• adult psychological disorders
• child and adolescent problems
• the neuropsychology of psychological disorders
• learning disabilities.

At the end of the module you should be able to describe theories of the aetiology of a selected range of disorders. You’ll compare treatment used across a scope of disorders and client groups.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
