From disorders and treatments, to diagnosis and assessments, we’ll help you delve into all aspects of mental health. At the same time, you’ll learn about approaches to research, systematic reviews and big data.
We’ve designed this course with a range of modules that allow you to study a variety of topics of particular interest to you.
You’ll apply what you’ve learnt in your own research. You’ll join an existing research team to help them with an ongoing project that’s tackling a specific challenge in the field.
As a student at King’s, we give you the chance to apply for a diverse range of placements within the NHS. If you’re successful at an interview, you’ll spend one day a week gaining invaluable clinical experience.
“Every year we find innovative ways to improve learning. For example, we have a subscription to the National Elf Service blog. This helps students keep up with the latest debates and developments in the field”.
Dr Jenny Kravariti, Course Leader
