Course summary

Develop your skills and knowledge in mental health research, supported by clinical and academic experts in the field. Gain the confidence to work in clinical and research roles in mental health. By integrating theory and evidence with clinical practice, you'll develop an in depth understanding of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and psychosis. You’ll study the evidence base for different treatments and populations, focusing on areas such as child and adolescent mental health, forensic psychology and serious mental illness. Throughout the programme, you'll learn from staff who are active researchers. They'll bring expertise from backgrounds in clinical psychology, psychiatry and mental health nursing to their teaching. You’ll have access to networking opportunities and research seminars through our Mental Health and Addictions Research Group and the Institute for Mental Health Research at York. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in our series of networking events, where students from various mental health disciplines across the university can connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. While these events often feature guest speakers, the primary focus is on fostering peer networking and collaboration. This course can also be taken as a postgraduate diploma (PGDip).
