Welcome to the University of Edinburgh/Contents

“You are now in a place where the best courses upon Earth are within your reach... such an opportunity you will never again have.”

Welcome to the School of Health in Social Science The School of Health in Social Science is a leading provider of postgraduate education in health, health policy and related fields. We offer taught degrees and research opportunities in Nursing Studies, Clinical Psychology, Counselling and Psychotherapy, and the new and developing subject area Interdisciplinary Social Sciences in Health, where social scientists are collaborating across specialisms to pursue innovative new approaches to healthcare research. Our varied postgraduate offering includes a wide range of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses.

Nursing Studies Postgraduate Nursing Studies at the University of Edinburgh can open up new horizons and career paths, with our graduates held in high regard throughout the world. We offer a range of taught and research postgraduate programmes that may be taken on a full-time or a part-time basis. We also offer CPD courses that can be studied as stand-alone courses to support you in your career, or to accrue credit towards postgraduate qualifications.

Clinical Psychology We offer a wide selection of taught postgraduate and research degree programmes in Clinical Psychology. Our focus is on the development, understanding and intervention for psychological difficulties across the lifespan. The main areas of taught study are the professional training programmes in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsychol) and in Applied Psychology for Children and Young People (MSc). We hold a strong ethos of researchbased teaching and aim to integrate doctoral and PhD-level study with our teaching. We also offer programmes of training in psychological therapies and CPD courses aimed at graduate study and professionals working in health- and mental health-related services.

Counselling and Psychotherapy We provide a comprehensive range of taught and research programmes in counselling and psychotherapy, from the Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies through to the highest available level of professional qualification, the Professional Doctorate in Psychotherapy and Counselling, as well as MSc, MPhil and PhD research degrees. We also offer a range of short CPD courses for counsellors and other professionals. Our taught programmes are based on a unique dialogue between contemporary person-centred approaches and psychodynamic perspectives, specifically object-relations theory. You will be taught by experienced practitioners, many of whom have published in the field. Our approach to teaching is founded on the belief that effective learning is not just cognitive, but encompasses all aspects of the person, including the emotional, the intellectual, and the visceral or embodied. We aim to develop competent, reflexive practitioner-researchers who are capable of improving the wellbeing of their communities and of contributing to our knowledge and understanding of counselling and related helping professions.

Interdisciplinary Social Sciences in Health We bring together social scientists from a range of academic disciplines, including sociology, geography, social anthropology and healthcare studies, to collaborate across a range of research fields in health policy and practice. We pursue collaboration within the School of Health in Social Science, with other Schools across the University and with experts

in the field nationally and internationally. As well as a PhD research programme we offer flexible and innovative programmes to masters level in Integrated Service Improvement, Health and Social Care, and Dementia: International Experiences, Research and Practice. We also offer stand-alone courses for professional or personal development or for credit towards postgraduate qualifications; and short events such as masterclasses, workshops and day events.

While there is no clinical practice component in the programme, opportunities will be given for the synthesis of theory, evidence and practice. Distance learning is also offered for parts of the programme, allowing you to combine your studies with work or family life.

This programme combines academic teaching with clinical practice training in the area of applied psychology for children and young people. It offers an interesting opportunity to develop knowledge and competences in the delivery of evidence-based psychological interventions for this client group.

Programme description

As a mental health practitioner, an understanding of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and its application in the care of children and young people is a valuable career asset. This part-time programme will enable you to develop a comprehensive understanding of the scientific principles involved and apply them in a clinical setting. By providing you with a full, critical and integrated understanding of the developmental and psychological theories that underlie effective CBT interventions, the programme aims to equip you with the ability to conduct functional analysis of childhood problems, and apply the most commonly used techniques associated with CBT, including normalisation, psychoeducation, socratic questioning, contingency management and more.

This part-time programme will help you develop the skills, knowledge, and personal attributes necessary to work as a counsellor or psychotherapist, as well as teaching you how to conduct and interpret research in counselling and psychotherapy. You will develop a sound knowledge of contemporary psychodynamic and person-centred theories, concepts and therapeutic processes, as well as the skills and self-awareness required to work ethically and effectively. You will gain experience in working therapeutically with adults, with the option to take additional courses and placements extending your practical skills to couples, children and young people. Professionally validated by COSCA (the professional counselling body for Scotland), successful graduates will also receive a COSCA Diploma in Counselling. Experienced practitioners will lead your learning, creating a reliable environment in which to gain your theoretical knowledge and the confidence to practise effectively.

Programme structure The programme consists of two courses, which combine taught and practical elements: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Children and Young People: Theory and Practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – Supervised Practice. On completion, you may graduate with the PG Certificate award, or continue on to the PG Diploma or masters in Children and Young People’s Mental Health and Psychological Practice.

Career opportunities CBT is recognised by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) and the Psychological Therapies Matrix (Scottish Government, 2011) as a recommended evidence-based therapy for a range of disorders in childhood and adolescence. Consequently, clinicians qualified in CBT practice have a valuable skill set for current and future posts in the NHS and related areas.

Minimum entry requirements A UK honours degree (reaching SCQF level 9) or its international equivalent (www.ed.ac.uk/international/country), and substantial current, or recent, work experience with children and young people in mental health settings.

Your suitability will be established through your completion of a personal application, references and you may be asked to attend an interview. Clearance through the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scotland Scheme will be required.

Nursing Studies has an outstanding record of postgraduate students making a significant contribution to the knowledge and evidence base in nursing. The programme also has a strong tradition of welcoming students from overseas, as well as the UK. The MSc by Research in Nursing Studies provides students with an advanced understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis issues in nursing. The programme is designed for qualified practitioners and for graduates (or equivalent) and enables students to develop their understanding of debates about research, evidence and practice in relation to nursing and related practices. The distinctive features of this degree include: integration of generic social science and discipline-specific nursing studies research training and development; social science approaches to research training in nursing studies; and close links with other disciplines including Medicine. The PhD/MPhil programme is an advanced research degree enabling you to conduct in-depth independent research on a topic of your choice. Normal progression for PhD/MPhil in nursing involves spending the first year preparing for the main research work; taking research training courses, reviewing literature, and developing your research proposal. Progression to year two of the programme is dependent on satisfactory outcome from a review board. Typically, the second year is spent doing the body of the research, usually empirical data collection and analysis, and the third year is spent completing the analysis and writing the thesis. You will be able to attend a wide range of postgraduate seminar courses from across the College of Humanities and Social Science. There is the opportunity to attend other courses in Nursing Studies as well as a wide range of postgraduate seminar courses within the College of Humanities and Social Science and related disciplines across the University.
