Doctor of Philosophy in Clinical Psychology

We recognise and welcome the need for the Profession of Clinical Psychology, and training in Clinical Psychology, to be inclusive of diversity.

The Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology is a 3-year research degree and professional training programme in clinical psychology. The course is fully accredited by the Psychological Society of Ireland.

The course runs over three calendar years and includes three interrelated elements:

2,000 hours of research over 200-250 days
500 hours academic coursework over 100-150 days
3,000 hours of supervised clinical practice over 390 days
The central objective of the course is to train postgraduates to a level which will enable them to work safely, competently and ethically as a basic grade clinical psychologist and to provide a foundation for later specialization through continuing professional development.

Postgraduates graduating from the course should be able to

provide assessment and treatment services to a wide range of client groups including children and adults with psychological problems and disabilities
use their academic knowledge to solve clinical problems and provide consultancy and teaching services to colleagues and clients
use their research skills to answer questions, raised within the health services, which require an empirically based answer.
