Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology Utrecht University

Overview

 In the Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology programme at Utrecht University, you will gain specialised, state of the art scientific knowledge and learn about its applications:

• You will learn about assessment for intervention and evidence-based interventions to support children, parents and/or teachers.
• You will also be introduced to cognitive behavioural therapy and you will learn how to design a treatment plan using cognitive behavioural therapy techniques.

• You will learn to apply critical scientific thinking to take position on relevant issues in the field of clinical child and adolescent psychology.

An added value of this programme is that it is international, and accessible to students from all over the world. This provides a stimulating mix of students, but above all it allows you to learn about similarities and differences in how children and adolescents grow up, and how mental health care is organized in different countries. As such this Master’s programme will not only allow you to deepen your knowledge of youth mental health care, such as in your internship, it will also allow you to broaden your horizon by learning in an international context.
