apologies if this has been asked before.
I'm about to finish my undergraduate degree in Psychology in the UK. I would like to do a postgrad/docterate in Clinical Psychology.
So I'm in the inbetween stage where I need to flesh out my CV and get my experience to improve my chances of being accepted. I know this will take a good few years minimum.
My tutor has suggested doing a masters. I don't think I want to do a PhD so I've been looking into them. A couple of courses I've seen were 'Mental Health Studies' (Kings in London), 'Foundations of clincal psychology' (I think this was bangor),'abnormal and clinical psychology' (I think this was swansea), developmental psychopathology at reading.
Does anyone have any experience or know anything about these or similar courses? Also, does anyone have any advice on what would be a good masters to do in preparation of the docterate. I am mostly interested in abnormal psychology/mental health and neuropsychology. I would prefere to do a lecture based course rather than a research one.
I wouldn't mind doing doing a masters abroad, so international suggestions welcome, though they'd probably have to have some kind of scholarship otherwise I don't know how I'd afford it!
