Your future

The Applied Psychology (Clinical) course at The University of Exeter  provides the basic training requirements towards employment as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP). This is a dual-accredited programme, so upon graduation students can apply for registration with the British Psychological Society or British Association of Behavioural Cognitive Psychotherapies.

As well as providing a platform for becoming a PWP, the programme will prepare you for a wide variety of careers. The programme will develop both your subject-specific and clinical competencies, and also your skills in communication, critical thinking and problem solving, data analysis and manipulation, teamwork, organisation, project management and independent learning.
