Master of Science - Clinical Psychology

By studying the MSc Clinical Psychology at Kent, students will enhance their knowledge and critical understanding of mental health, explore psychological assessment, formulation, and intervention, and create their own clinical research to establish themselves in the field.

Students will learn from clinical experts with real-world experience, embracing the scientist-practitioner model. The course is co-designed by academics, professional clinical psychologists, students, and those with lived experience, ensuring they explore up-to-date developments that are relevant to real world practice.

This course is designed to be engaging and experiential, and students will have access to a signposting database to help them gain clinical experience. Students will gain a deep understanding of the psychological models of clinical disorders, develop therapeutic skills, and build their confidence in working with individuals facing mental health challenges.

Finally, through a clinically relevant research project, students will prepare for a future PhD or clinical psychology doctorate, which they will need to launch a career as a qualified clinical psychologist in the UK.
