Clinical Neuropsychology MSc

The MSc Clinical Neuropsychology, delivered with North Bristol NHS Trust, combines an accredited taught knowledge component with a clinical practice component to prepare graduates for the British Psychological Society’s Specialist Register. The programme consists of five units – applied assessment, clinical issues, theoretical foundations, neurorehabilitation, and evidence‑based case study – each offering an adult or paediatric pathway. Approximately eighty percent of teaching is provided by practising clinicians who employ a biopsychosocial scientist‑practitioner approach, emphasizing research‑informed care. Students must secure paid placements and supervision within a neuropsychology service; support includes mentorship, feedback on case reports, mid‑study reviews, and formulation workshops, culminating in a portfolio of six cases, a practice viva, and evidence of SRCN competency. The programme is delivered mainly online with optional on‑campus elements, allowing study from home or work, and examinations are taken remotely. Full‑time study lasts one year; part‑time options span two or three years, with entry periods in January 2026, September 2026, and January 2027. Applicants need HCPC registration as a clinical or counselling psychologist, a doctoral degree in a relevant field completed within eight years, and must meet the English language profile C requirement. The programme benefits from the university’s reputation as a top‑five research institution, with 94 % of its research rated world‑leading or internationally excellent.
