Careers

The MSc is not a clinical programme, but provides an interesting background to formal clinical training and some students pursue this option. Many students continue with their academic studies at doctoral level either at UCL or elsewhere. The Psychoanalysis Unit runs an MPhil/PhD in Psychoanalytic Studies and has over twenty five doctoral students. The Research Department of Clinical, Educational and Health Psychology runs both an MPhil/PhD and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Other students have gone on to do training in Psychotherapy, Child Psychotherapy or Counselling. Others return to their professional careers.

Some career advice can be offered to students in individual discussion with the Programme Director and Programme Tutor, who may be able to arrange for the student to have further discussion with colleagues, or to obtain fuller information about options (e.g. professional training or study for a PhD) from relevant sources. Students should also be aware of the careers advice available through UCL Careers Office.
