Understanding Clinical Psychology (C8524)
15 credits, Level 6
Autumn teaching
Mental health influences our everyday behaviour and interactions with others.
On this module, you’ll explore how mental health issues and psychopathology impact people throughout their lives. You’ll learn how psychologists make diagnoses and use theory to guide treatment.
We’ll cover:
- anxiety
- depression
- dementia
- today’s evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
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.
