respect the rights and needs of service users through a commitment to equal opportunities and the principles of beneficence, autonomy and social justice.
become competent and creative educational psychologists able to work effectively in educational and community settings

There is a national shortage of educational psychologists and graduates of our programme are in great demand.

Our programme is designed to give you the opportunity to:

Qualify as a practitioner educational psychologist with the HCPC
Become a creative applied psychological practitioner
Apply psychology to make a positive different to children, families, carers and schools
Apply best educational psychology practice, based on research evidence and professional experience (practice based evidence)
Become a self-reflective practitioner and continue to develop personally and professionally through your career
We are focused on community involvement and we train people to work for local authorities. Some will go on to work privately but the vast majority will end up being public servants. We want to train educational psychologists who can work effectively across diverse communities. We therefore actively seek applications from underrepresented groups.

Minimum 2.2 Honours in Psychology (BPS Accredited)
We would normally expect you to have Grade C in GCSE English and Maths.
