Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The training programme values the reflective scientist-practitioner model as a basis for clinical psychology. There is a strong emphasis on integration of theory, research and practice in all aspects of the programme.

The biopsychosocial framework underpinning the Programme identifies biological, psychological and social factors that contribute to the development and maintenance of psychological difficulties and mental disorders across the lifespan.

Our understanding of the framework is that it is linked to a continuum view of psychological difficulty.

Thus, the programme seeks to understand these difficulties from an assumption of commonality of experience and human potential to support wellness and resilience.
