About Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, DClinPsy - at University of Nottingham

Applications can only be made through the Clearing House for Postgraduate Courses in Clinical Psychology, University of Leeds.

The Institute offers the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology as a professional training course in clinical psychology.

This course is run in collaboration with the University of Lincoln and in partnership with the clinical psychology services of three local NHS Trusts - Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire.

The programme, which is accredited by the British Psychological Society, leads to the award of a DClinPsy degree.

The purpose of the course is to train people to become skilled, chartered clinical psychologists who are able to work effectively within the NHS. The course has a particular orientation towards the special challenge of delivering clinical psychology services to rural communities and to the conduct of clinical research within a research-led University.

Graduates from the course will be confident in using research methods to answer clinical questions, have organisational and service evaluation skills and be aware of priority groups within the NHS.

Please note: due to NHS funding arrangements, the programme is not in a position to offer places to non-EU applicants without a work permit.
