- Gain the skills to evaluate research at the forefront of the field and understand the translation of theory and research to clinical practice.

- Undertake research through your dissertation, there are opportunities to conduct your research project with clinicians working in the NHS.

Career prospects
This degree delivers core skills and knowledge related to the theory and practice of clinical neuropsychology. It will support those who aspire to further clinical training, such as clinical, educational or counselling psychology, or a career in clinical research. It will also provide continuing professional development for those already working in a clinical setting who are seeking improved understanding of neuropsychological conditions and how psychology can be used to improve outcomes, well-being and quality of life for those affected by dysfunction of the brain.
Graduates of this course who later become clinical, educational or counselling psychologists and are registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) can enrol on our supplementary Certificate in Clinical Neuropsychology Practice and have their prior MSc course with us count towards recognition as a professional neuropsychologist. Where the gap between completion of this MSc and a subsequent doctorate is greater than 8 years, there will be a requirement to evidence additional learning and continuing professional development in clinical neuropsychology. We are always delighted to see our graduates using this pathway and pursing the highest specialism in UK neuropsychology practice.
