This practice-based module builds upon developing competencies from PSYC8015 in a further systemically-informed placement which may include working with children and young people, families, teams/organisations, and individuals with cognitive or communication needs.

This module places a specific focus on continuing to develop BPS (2025) competencies in assessment, formulation, intervention and evaluation from a range of possible models (e.g. CBT, systemic, neuropsychology) and modes of intervention with clients from a range of backgrounds and presentations. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on adapting style of communication and content to meet the differing cognitive, sensory and developmental needs of clients (e.g. children, neurodiversity, intellectual disabilities). Trainees will continue to develop skills in using formulations with individuals and teams to meaningfully inform decision-making and guide interventions, which may use of practice-based evidence in the absence of an appropriate evidence-base or determining that an intervention may be inappropriate or ineffective. All of these competencies will continue to be underpinned by working within an anti-racist/anti-discrimination framework whilst considering issues of difference, diversity, culture, power and social/structural inequity.

Trainees are expected to attend placement in person, but may also be required to work in other placement settings or remotely. Trainees must ensure that over 50% of their direct clinical activity and time on placement, across the whole of training, is completed in person.

The module provides trainees with a range of experience representative of Clinical Psychology work with systems which may include people who have a learning disability, their families, carers and others involved in service provision. Trainees will work across a range of settings and services which work systemically and may include working as part of integrated learning disability team. Trainees will gain experience of work with a range of presenting problems typical of the host service and informed by professional guidelines. They will develop skills in engaging with people systemically which may include engaging with people with a learning disability including an awareness of adaptations of style and content which may be required and will take into account the impact of power difference on the lives and experience of service users. Trainees will gain experience of using a range of assessments appropriate to the client group. They will take into account systemic issues including gender, class and culture and the beliefs of clients. They will use their knowledge and skills in critical evaluation of evidence -based interventions from systemic, neuropsychological, behavioural and cognitive models to plan and implement interventions for a range of emotional, behavioural and coping difficulties and evaluate outcomes. They will evaluate outcomes and reflect on the effectiveness of their interventions within this context. The trainee is expected to attend the placement in person but also may be required to work in other placement settings or remotely.

This practice-based module aims to consolidate skills and competencies developed during the first two years of training to meet the level of clinical competence required for completion of the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology and HCPC registration as a Clinical Psychologist. The specific placement setting will be determined by Trainees competency development to date and their special interests in terms of client group, specialism or service type.

This module places a specific focus on continuing to develop BPS (2025) competencies in working within an emergent transdiagnostic context, using formulation to understand team/organisational behaviours, demonstrate leadership (informed by relevant models and theory), and gain experience providing supervision, consultancy, teaching and communicating expert psychological opinions to relevant stakeholders to influence practice and support others in applying psychological theory/skills. Trainees are expected to be working at an appropriate level of autonomy and to be exercising independent professional judgement within appropriate legal and professional boundaries. Trainees should also have gained significant experience and competence across all BPS core competencies. All of these competencies will continue to be underpinned by working within an anti-racist/anti-discrimination framework whilst considering issues of difference, diversity, culture, power and social/structural inequity, as well as a commitment to continue to challenge and address these inequalities post-qualification.

The placement setting will be determined by the need to ensure that the trainee is able to gain a level of clinical competence (as defined by the Log of Clinical Competence) appropriate for completion of the Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology and application for entry to the HCPC register of Practitioner Psychologists. Consideration will also be given to the trainee’s desire to gain experience of work with a specific client group or in specialist clinical skills.

This third-year options module introduces students to the principles and analytical methods that underpin precision health, with a focus on modelling clinical risk and uncertainty using statistical and machine learning techniques. Building on foundational biomedical and computational knowledge, students will explore key health datasets, calibrated risk estimation models, and approaches for quantifying and communicating uncertainty in real-world healthcare settings. Through practical examples and state-of-the-art applications, they will learn how bias, missingness, and evidence quality affect model reliability and how uncertainty-aware methods support safe, informed decision-making in precision health.

In this module, you will explore the principles and practices of marketing optimisation, focusing on how to refine strategies to maximise both effectiveness and efficiency. You will be introduced to key marketing metrics that help evaluate performance and provide insights into campaign success. Through this, you will gain knowledge and understanding of how organisations demonstrate return on marketing investment and ensure accountability in decision-making. You will explore how to use data to identify opportunities, make informed adjustments, and enhance the impact of marketing activities. By engaging with real-world tools and techniques, you will develop the skills to measure, evaluate, and optimise campaigns with precision, ensuring that every marketing effort is strategically aligned and results-driven.

Predictive modelling offers a lot of benefits to organisations: it can help them to improve their business decisions and which in turn will have a huge impact on their business and its profits. As a result, there is a huge demand for persons with predictive modelling skills in various organisations across the globe. In this module, you will learn techniques to determine patterns and to make predictions about future trends from the data, including regression modelling, clustering analysis and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
