BSc (Hons) Psychology (Clinical)

Psychology gives you a fascinating insight into the factors that influence how people think, feel and behave. Clinical psychology is a fascinating specialist area, focused on key issues in mental health. This course integrates core areas of psychological knowledge, giving you a deep understanding of the subject. Taught with an applied focus, it will also help you apply your learning in the real world to make a difference to people's lives.

Employability

As well as enhancing your understanding of human behaviour and thought processes, this course will help you become a more persuasive communicator - a desirable skill for employers. During the final year of the Psychology (with Clinical Psychology) course, you can specialise in key areas of mental health, including recovery from brain damage, psychopathologies such as depression, eating disorders and schizophrenia, as well as the cognitive basis and treatment of addictive behaviours.

With an accredited degree and an appropriate postgraduate qualification you could go on to be a chartered psychologist in health, clinical, forensic, child and educational or occupational psychology. You’re also equipped for a career in counselling, teaching, the probation and courts services, market research, HR or business – there’s no such thing as a traditional career path for psychology graduates.
