Course Overview
The degree provides you with training in clinical neuropsychology and a substantial portion of taught content is provided by clinicians working within the NHS. In addition to taught content the degree also involves a research project component. Many of the programme units are provided in a block format, over a single week. This MSc in Applied Neuropsychology from University of Bristol will equip students intending to become clinical psychologists, as well as those who wish to pursue a career involving contact with patients with neuropsychological deficits (eg Head injury, dementia, stroke, rehabilitation, etc). It also provides an excellent grounding for students wishing to move on to further academic research through a PhD. The programme content includes principles of assessment within clinical and neuropsychology, coverage of a range of neuropsychological disorders and pathologies affecting the brain, techniques for studying the human brain, principles of treatment and rehabilitation following brain damage, and also focuses on evidence-based practice within the clinical context. There is a comprehensive range of additional structured tutorials in which students can discuss clinical practice issues with a range of subject matter experts working within the NHS. A novel feature of our clinical training is that all lectures are broadcast live online, so some can be viewed without the requirement to travel to lecture theatres. In addition, all lectures are recorded and can be replayed at any time. Students will have access to a large range of recorded clinical case reviews which supplement the learning experience.
