Clinical Child Psychology (Taught)

Our course provides you with a strong foundation for research and will complement your professional clinical training. Youâ??ll gain a comprehensive theoretical knowledge of the field, as well as the practical ability to design and evaluate clinical research programmes. Specialist modules focus on diagnosis and treatment of different conditions, developmental psychopathology (including causes and impacts) and the broader issues surrounding psychological research. Youâ??ll also train in quantitative and qualitative research methods, including infant observation, assessment and diagnostic interviewing, neuroimaging (electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography) and neuropsychological assessment. This leads up to your dissertation project, which will involve significant independent research with the guidance and support of our expert staff. Please note that this course does not include clinical work with children and neither does it constitute professional training (e.g. training in clinical psychology).
