    Clinical Neuropsychiatry MSc

    About

    Clinical neuropsychiatry considers mental disorders from a neurological standpoint. It is an exciting and developing area of study. Our MSc in Clinical Neuropsychiatry will allow students to develop the skills and knowledge required to specialize in neuropsychiatry as a clinician or academic. We welcome biomedical and psychology graduates, as well as psychiatrists, neurologists and psychologists onto the course. (Please note that the course is not itself a clinical qualification; in order to practice as a clinician in a neuropsychiatry team you will need to undertake specific clinical training, such as medical school, nursing training, clinical psychology, occupational therapy etc.) We will use a delivery method that will ensure students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face to face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessment.
    • SLaM offers the widest range of mental health services in the UK and provides one of only two NHS inpatient neuropsychiatry units.

    • Clinical observership (subject to availability) - including practical experience of clinical assessment and management.

These modules will include clinical supervision and mentorship in presenting case discussions.
