This course is run jointly by the Department of Psychology and the Coventry-Warwick Clinical Psychology Doctorate programme. It is designed for Psychology graduates who plan to apply for admission to doctoral training programmes in Clinical Psychology, and are in the process of strengthening their credentials for the competitive entry process.

The taught components of the course include modules on research methods tailored to clinical applications, evidence-based practice in adult, older adult, and child/adolescent populations, learning disabilities, and clinical case analysis. Teaching provision is shared between academics with research interests in the relevant topics and practising clinicians with current experience in Psychology services within the NHS.

The practical component of the course is a unique 6-month placement in a local NHS trust that maintains a training relationship with our doctoral programme. Students are assigned to placements in pairs, and have a clinical and an academic supervisor. They have the opportunity to assist Clinical Psychologists with research, clinical audit, or care provision, as applicable to the setting of each placement. Every effort is made to match students' interests with the available placement opportunities. The formal output of the placement is a substantial written report of the work carried out during the placement, to be completed under the guidance of the academic supervisor.
