Topics such as approaches to treatment and therapy and mental health and counselling skills have been designed to prepare students to embark on postgraduate study, to practise clinical psychology in a range of settings or to work in therapeutic areas.

This degree aims to address the key concepts and practices of Psychology, while also aiming to provide a level of specialised knowledge in clinical psychology. The course is designed to be especially suited to those students considering a career in health or social services.
