undertaken within your paid employment and you must take responsibility for securing appropriate supervision for your work when enrolled on the course. However, we provide additional oversight and support towards developing your case portfolio and ensuring your clinical experience demonstrates the required competencies for entry to the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists. This support includes discussion of case formats and patient cases, and help in managing supervisions.
Entry requirements: A UK doctorate in clinical psychology or educational psychology (or international equivalent recognised by the BPS) and registration as a clinical or educational psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council. Applicants must also have demonstrated the knowledge component of training competencies (either via QiCN or BPS accredited courses) relevant to the practice component they wish to undertake (adult or paediatric). The adult version of this certificate is only open to those who hold the adult knowledge dimension (and vice versa in the paediatric case).
MSc Experimental Psychology (conversion) This MSc conversion programme is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS). It is designed for students from non-psychology backgrounds, and provides training in the theories and methods of contemporary psychological science. After successfully completing the programme, you will be eligible for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS, which is a prerequisite for pursuing a career in psychology.
You will learn the theories of social, cognitive, developmental, biological and individual differences psychology, and develop the skills to understand and apply the research on which these theories are based. You will also learn
how to design experiments and analyse data to provide valid answers to meaningful psychological research questions.
In your dissertation, you will combine these skills and knowledge to develop, carry out and report on a substantial piece of original, empirical research.
Entry requirements: Minimum upper second- class honours degree, or international equivalent. Applicants are also expected to demonstrate some evidence of scientific and statistical literacy (eg an A in at least one A-level science subject, an undergraduate degree in a scientific discipline, quantitative research experience, relevant work, extra-curricular experience).
Postgraduate Diploma in Theoretical and Practical Clinical Neuropsychology This diploma intends to support both the knowledge and practice competencies required for advanced professional training in adult clinical neuropsychology.
This diploma allows you to bring forward learning and case experience from your DClinPsy (for collaborating institutions, see our website) in order to streamline the post-doctoral training required to develop both knowledge and practice competencies
The Knowledge component covers the BPS syllabus for training in clinical neuropsychology and is delivered by experienced clinicians and academics. The Practice component is managed by clinicians with experience of conducting QiCN portfolio vivas. 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.
Entry requirements: You must possess a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) and be registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council. This degree is normally run in conjunction with prior agreements between University of Bristol and selected UK DClinPsy programmes. (see our School of Psychological Science website for the full list of collaborating DClinPsy programmes).
In order to meet BPS accreditation requirements, applicants must pass an entrance examination set by the University of Bristol and must submit a 2,000-word essay on a prescribed topic, which must also be passed. The pass mark for the examination and essay is 50 per cent. The combined mark determines whether a candidate has passed the entrance requirements, with the essay weighted 34 per cent and exam 66 per cent of the final mark. Applicants must be able to provide evidence of a minimum of six months’ practice experience, primarily supervised by a recognised clinical neuropsychologist, and documentary evidence from this period (eg specific submitted case report).
