Course Overview

Mental health services across the UK are facing a growing demand for therapeutic services to treat common mental health disorders. The NHS's commitment to delivering evidence-based treatments means that the theoretical focus of this course is on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Delivered jointly by the University of Stirling and the University of Dundee, it is designed by NHS professionals and clinical academics to give you the clinical and professional skills you need to work as a clinical associate in applied psychology within the NHS. You'll receive expert training in delivering evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to adults in primary care, and develop your knowledge of the prevalence, diagnostic criteria, presentation, and treatment of common mental health disorders within a CBT framework.

General Eligibility

Applicants must have the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and an Honours degree in Psychology (2:1 or above) and should have appropriate personal qualities suited to employment in the NHS. Some experience of working in a caring or clinical setting is desirable but not essential. Recruitment is jointly undertaken by representative senior academic and NHS staff. Alternatively, applicants should have successfully completed an MSc psychology conversion course at a level equivalent to a 2:1 and which confers GBC with the BPS.
