Overview

During this Clinical Mental Health Sciences programme offered at the University College London (UCL) students will develop an in-depth understanding of current evidence regarding mental health problems and the interventions provided to address them, as well as enhancing their research skills.

A wide range of options from across the School of Life and Medical Sciences at UCL allows students to tailor a programme that fully fits their needs.

Careers

For non-clinicians, the programme will be an excellent grounding for

clinical training, such as in clinical psychology,
or for embarking on a research career in mental health.

Many graduates go on to research assistant, clinical support worker or assistant psychologist posts as a first destination.

The programme is also intended to prepare students for PhD studies, also a major onward route.

For clinicians, this is a great opportunity to gain a higher qualification through a programme based in a leading university department which can be closely tailored to your interests across clinical, research and management fields.

Employability

Students will be taught by leading experts in their fields, will gain a strong clinical understanding of mental health, and will be able to develop their skills in research, service design and evaluation, and writing and presenting.

Previous Division of Psychiatry Master’s graduates have been enthusiastic about their career enhancement, both through their programme and the connections they have made through it. We offer to find all students a placement (if they wish) for one day a week in which relevant clinical and/or research experience is obtained.

A large proportion of our first cohort of graduates have gone on to paid employment in relevant areas of mental health, especially

research assistant,
clinical support worker,
psychological wellbeing practitioner
and assistant psychologist posts.

Others have embarked on PhD studies.
