Clinical Psychology will give you an insight into mental health and the promotion of psychological well-being. This is done through the study of physical and mental health problems including addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and developmental disorders. At Worcester, our courses have been designed to develop you as the psychologist of the future. From innovative and career-focused assessments to understanding the challenges global societies will face in the future, your course will equip you with the skills and aptitude to make a difference. Whatever your course (business, clinical, counseling, forensic, psychology, or sport and exercise psychology), you will be taught by specialist practitioners whose work is underpinned by contemporary research. All courses are also accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), putting you in a great position when you're starting your career.
We don’t just help you develop your skills we also provide opportunities for you to practice them, and help you understand your unique and personal ‘skills rucksack’. We work closely with the university's Careers and Employability team, arranging placements, both paid and voluntary, with many local and national organizations - including the NHS, the BPS, West Mercia Police Constabulary, Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, Worcestershire County Council, and HMP Aylesbury.
You can also take part in workshops devoted to CV writing, interview skills, recruitment, and assessment techniques. And you'll have the chance to talk to guest speakers and visit potential employers - as well as get help to apply for work and postgraduate study.
