Research Project
The research module will involve constructing and executing a substantial research project, usually conducted in connection to an abnormal and clinical research topic/theme.
Previous research projects have spanned various applicable clinical settings linked to NHS trusts, mental health charities, forensic units and topics generated by academics based within the department of psychology. We also encourage students who come to the program with connections as a consequence of previous professional experience, to undertake projects that are linked to interests they have already established.
