Program overview

A one year master degree in applied psychology, covering clinical assessment, health behaviour, psychological interventions, research methods and a research dissertation.

This is an academic psychology master rather than a clinical training qualification, and the distinction is critical because clinical psychologist is a protected British title.

Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology is taught at the University of West London, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology cannot support a family move.

Applicants to Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology need a bachelor degree with a minimum of 65 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for Master of Science in Clinical and Health Psychology is recorded at GBP 17,250 a year.
