The Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Programme

Programme Director - Professor Tom McMillan

Introduction

The Doctorate in Clinical Psychology programme is a full-time programme taken over a three year period. 

The programme at the University of Glasgow is one of the oldest in the UK, having started as a Diploma in Clinical Psychology in 1960.  The DClinPsy programme is co-ordinated by the Section of Psychological Medicine which has a staff of clinical psychologists, clinical neuropsychologists, health psychologists and psychiatrists and is collaboratively funded through NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and the University of Glasgow. 

Trainees are employed by one of three local NHS (Scotland) Health Boards:  NHS Ayrshire and Arran, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Lanarkshire.

We are seeking candidates for the clinical programme who are academically able, enthusiastic, and committed to a career in clinical psychology.  The aim of the DClinPsy programme is to produce fit for purpose NHS practitioners. 

In common with most Clinical Psychology programmes, the cognitive behavioural approach to psychotherapy is dominant but there is also a substantial teaching input based upon other psychotherapeutic approaches.
