Course Overview
PhD/MPhil programmes are based on individual research projects that last three to four years (PhD) or one to two years (MPhil), working with a specific Primary Supervisor and Co-Supervisor(s). Applicants are specifically matched with a Primary Supervisor and individual project based on their research interests and background. These include: the integration of psychological explanation to derive understanding and intervention; interpersonal and family environments; cognition. Training and development, Research training within clinical psychology provides a flexible platform for career development while offering structured progression to ensure study objectives are met. You will join a research group and quickly be immersed in the current research activity being conducted. With your supervisory team, you will follow an intense induction, including agreeing on the key objectives of the study, resources available, relevant seminars and opportunities for personal development. Within the wider research group, you will have the opportunity to discuss your research with fellow students, post-doctoral candidates and academics. Research group seminars will provide background to recent developments within the discipline and there will be ample opportunity to share personal research findings, contribute to publications and attend/present at prominent conferences. All research students are encouraged to attend course units from within the programme that are relevant to their research topic.
