About Rehabilitation Psychology, MSc - at University of Nottingham

The MSc in Rehabilitation Psychology provides training in research and clinical skills relevant to physical rehabilitation and rehabilitation psychology within healthcare settings. The course will be of interest to psychology graduates and those working as Assistant Psychologists as part of a multidisciplinary team, conducting rehabilitation research, or as a preparation for clinical training.

It will enable Assistant and Associate Psychologists to work more effectively in rehabilitation settings and to gain a theoretical grounding in the field. By expanding their research skills they will be able to foster evidence-based clinical practice.

This course includes shared teaching on some modules within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and is particularly concerned with rehabilitation for people with neurological conditions.

It shares some modules with the MSc in Health Psychology and the MSc in Applied Neuropsychology, but has its own distinct contribution to make in both health and clinical psychology.
