Clinical Psychology

Post-Qualification Doctorate in Clinical Psychology

The Post Qualification Programme admitted its final intake of students in April 2002. At present, it is not planned to admit any further students onto the Programme. The information below, therefore, relates to how the Programme was organized up to 2002.

There is widespread recognition within Clinical Psychology of the need for an award that allows clinical psychologists, who completed their training prior to pre-qualification training courses awarding Practitioner Doctorates, to re-grade their current qualification to Doctoral status. The challenge for post- qualification programmes is how best to meet the real developmental needs of both experienced practitioners and the services in which they work. The information on this site outlines details of the way in which Salomons has attempted to respond to those needs in a relevant and integrated fashion. There have been six intakes (cohorts) to the Programme so far, with a total of 76 people having been enrolled.

The Doctoral Programme is awarded by Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) and integrates high academic standards with long established strengths as demonstrated in the Pre-Qualification Programme, but to do so in a way which is relevant and appropriate for service practitioners already contributing to service provision. It is aimed at providing an appropriate structure for promoting and individual's continuing professional development.
