Please note, this course is not accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) and it does not confer eligibility for Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership.\nPlacements are available in a range of settings, including mental health charities, special education needs schools, within research teams and within the policy sector. Clinically related experience is available within diverse settings including research projects, mental health charities and local community projects within mental health. A limited number of clinical observerships are also available within the National Health Service (NHS). While these observerships can offer a way to gain insight into a clinical setting, students should note the additional prerequisites for applying for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and for Psychotherapy Training, that are not covered by this programme. This MSc does not provide the 9-12 months of full-time equivalent clinically relevant experience generally required by UK-based Doctorate in Clinical Psychology courses.",
