Child & Adolescent Mental Health MSc
After having spent one year on the MSc course, I would definitely recommend it as a means of professional development and source of unforgettable experiences, both academic and social. It is the ideal programme for scientists coming from different health disciplines that want to acquire expertise and cutting-edge knowledge in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry.

The structure of the course is quite demanding and requires constant involvement in multiple activities. It combines effectively theory, practice and research. I gained a lot by attending a variety of lectures held by some of the most recognised and well-known child and adolescent mental health researchers and practitioners. I enhanced my clinical skills by doing my clinical placement -in the framework of the studies- in one of the busiest child and adolescent mental health clinics in South London. I also had the opportunity to complete my research dissertation that mastered my capacities in methodology and statistics.

Studying at King's College London and particularly at the Institute of Psychiatry was a unique personal achievement. It was very important to know that I was part of an academic body with substantial scientific weight and international recognition.

After the end of the programme I intend to work as a psychologist either in the research or the clinical field. I consider that the MSc will constitute a fundamental basis for the fulfillment of my future professional objectives.
