Based on information on the Clinical Psychology Clearing House in October 2022 the Plymouth University does not appear to be offering their course to international students in 2023. However, we have left the information below for your reference.

Our course emphasises a reflexive approach to all aspects of clinical psychology. Recent major changes to the course have promoted exciting developments especially in the links between theory and practice and in the variety of learning methods from which trainees are able to benefit. A particular strength of the course is that we offer a depth of experience in a range of psycho-therapeutic models, including cognitive therapy, psycho-dynamic therapy and a foundation level family therapy training. Our year-long placement structure promotes an emphasis on locating clinical problems within a variety of social contexts, including family and community contexts. We give trainees the opportunity to engage in small-group work as part of Problem-Based Learning and applied research. Trainees gain competence in teaching, training, supervision and consultation. Trainees also develop competence in psychometric assessment. The course is based in the University of Plymouth. It is run jointly with NHS Trusts across the Devon and Cornwall Peninsula.
