Overview

The Personality Disorder (Practice Development) programme from The University of Lancashire responds to national policy developments and explores current thinking around personality disorder.

The course is relevant to a range of professionals (i.e. nursing, psychiatry, probation, social work, and occupational therapy) who work with this client group, and will encourage students to challenge their own, and others thinking about this diagnosis.

Future careers

Students who successfully complete this course could continue their studies in the form of a PhD or Professional Doctorate.

The course leader, or one of the research staff can offer advice and support in relation to this.
