you will be allocated a case for further analysis, leading to submission of an assessed case report (3,000 words) and delivery of a presentation of that case. In the sixth unit (10 credits), you are asked to explore important peer-reviewed papers and engage in critical discussion.
Bristol-based programme: All lectures must be attended in person, but they are also recorded for you to replay online at any point.
Distance-learning programme: This flexible programme allows you to avoid the costs of studying abroad, while the part-time option means you can continue to work and maintain other commitments. However, you would be required to come to Bristol for your examinations, which are normally held in early summer. This period will include a series of welcome and course activities that you can join in to enhance your experience and studies.
All aspects of delivery are identical to the UK- based programme but with additional online sessions providing enhanced academic and pastoral support. All lectures are streamed live on the internet. If you are not able to watch a lecture live, you are able to view the recording (which includes questions asked by peers) at a later time, and then ask any questions that arise via email or in online tutorials.
Entry requirements: An upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in psychology or a closely related discipline (eg neuroscience or clinical psychology). Previous professional experience or qualifications can also be put forward for consideration as equivalent to the academic entry requirements. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis and we welcome enquiries about the suitability of any particular degree prior to full application.
MSc Clinical Neuropsychology This master’s programme intends to deliver teaching that provides both the adult knowledge and practice competencies required for entry on
to the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists. It is intended for those who wish to gain and demonstrate the UK’s highest level of competence in professional clinical neuropsychology.
The Adult Knowledge component covers the British Psychological Society’s syllabus for training in clinical neuropsychology and is delivered by experienced clinicians and academics. Support for your Practice competencies is provided by clinicians with experience of conducting BPS QiCN portfolio viva examinations.
Your clinical practice must be undertaken within your paid employment and you must secure appropriate supervision for your work when enrolled on the course. However, we offer additional support towards developing your case portfolio, discussion of case formats and patient cases, and help in managing supervisions. This support is provided by clinicians with experience of conducting QiCN portfolio vivas.
Entry requirements: A clinical doctorate in psychology (DClinPsy) and be registered as a clinical psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council. Previous professional experience or qualifications can also be put forward for consideration as equivalent to the academic entry requirements given above. These will be considered on a case-by-case basis (and may also require consultation with and agreement from the BPS).
Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology This diploma is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) Division of Neuropsychology and delivers the adult knowledge component of the competency requirements for advanced training in clinical neuropsychology. This represents the first step in gaining eligibility to join the UK Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists. Around 80 per cent of the taught content is delivered by NHS
clinicians, and you will learn about a range of neuropsychological disorders and pathologies as well as focusing on principles of assessment, treatment and rehabilitation.
This degree consists of six units (120 credits in total). Four of the units (100 credits) are taught via lectures. A further 10-credit unit exposes candidates to a range of clinical case reports. Each candidate must select one of their own cases in order to submit a 3,000-word assessed case report and deliver a presentation of that case. In the sixth unit (10 credits), you will explore important peer-reviewed papers and engage in critical discussion. Each critical discussion will be preceded by a candidate presentation, which provides a critical summary of a particular paper.

Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Neuropsychology Practice
Since 2010, an academic partnership between the University of Bristol and North Bristol NHS Trust has delivered professionally accredited training in clinical neuropsychology.
The certificate provides support in developing your clinical practice portfolio so that you can demonstrate competency to practice as a clinical neuropsychologist and gain entitlement to enter the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists. Applicants must have undertaken the knowledge component (adult/ paediatric) of training competencies (either via QiCN or BPS accredited courses).
The certificate is managed by clinicians with experience of conducting BPS QiCN portfolio viva examinations. Clinical practice must be
