Summary
Neuropsychology is the science linking the functioning of the brain with cognitive and emotional experience and behaviour. Neuropsychology represents the interface between the biological, psychological and social facets of human behaviour.
This course is delivered in partnership with North Bristol NHS Trust. As a course team we are passionate about neuropsychology and its application to society to improve the well-being and quality of life of those affected by damage, disease or dysfunction affecting the brain.
The taught content of the MSc is identical to the taught content we provide when training qualified clinical psychologists to specialise in clinical neuropsychology. The programme therefore covers core content dictated by the British Psychological Society and delivers an authentic reflection of clinical practice.
While this programme is not formally accredited by the BPS, if you complete the MSc and go on to study a BPS-accredited doctorate in clinical psychology or counselling psychology, your MSc could be retrospectively recognised as meeting one of the key professional requirements for entry to the BPS Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists. Should you wish to become a qualified clinical neuropsychologist, this could save around two years study time and cost of paying for a BPS-accredited Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology.
On the MSc you will learn about a range of neuropsychological disorders and pathologies, as well as focusing on principles of assessment, formulation and rehabilitation.
Around 80% of our taught content is delivered by practising clinicians, and you will receive weekly structured tutorials (during term) with clinicians that allow you to explore different aspects of clinical practice and gain insight into patient pathways and evidence-based formulation. This programme is suitable for those looking to pursue a research career, professional positions (such as an Assistant Psychologist) or further clinical training (for example a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology).
You will have the opportunity to undertake independent research through your dissertation and there is opportunity to conduct your research project with clinicians working in the NHS.
