Study Details: 2 years
This MSc aims to encourage an integrated understanding of child development and a range of childhood disorders. It also gives students an opportunity to apply this understanding in a clinical setting through a supervised placement in the second year within a mental health service.
Normally a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university in Psychology, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, and relevant experience working with children or adolescents. Relevant work experience could include professional or voluntary involvement with children (whether in mental health context or not), for example, as part of placements undertaken during undergraduate study, as part of a research project (e.g. interviewing children for research) or in a personal capacity (e.g. childminding or volunteering).

Completing this MSc will help you develop several core research and clinical competencies and provide you with direct supervised experience of work in a child and adolescent mental health service, placing you in a strong position to proceed to further clinical training, such as in clinical or educational psychology, or to pursue a PhD in research. Some of our graduates find employment in the field of child mental health in roles such as Assistant Psychologist or Family Support Worker. 100% of our graduates were in work or further study within 15 months of completing their studies (most recent Graduate Outcomes Survey 2022 – 2023).
