Clinical psychology is of great importance to our society. Trainees here are exposed to clinical postings which help them to study better and have a better understanding of what is expected of them in the field.
The teachers at Oxford are hardworking, always bringing in their A-game on board. Study time is very effective. The serene environment of the school is one to behold. Studying here gives you an edge and exposure which cannot be compared to anywhere else.
Clinical psychology is a course that equips graduates with skills to enhance clinical competence. this course will also enable graduates to take on leadership roles to enable them to function in society. This course has links with neuropsychology. Students under this program have clinical placement three times a week throughout their three years of studying. The clinical placement is meant to enhance the learning process.
There is proper graduate supervision, trainees are given a course tutor who meets with them.
Trainees are also assessed throughout the three years through five clinical case reports. Also, trainees are required to carry out research, which is examined viva voce {oral examination}. Successful completion of the course qualifies the trainee to be called a Doctor of Clinical psychology [DClinPsych] which is validated by the University of Oxford.
Oxford University is a great place to study, it is ranked as one of the top universities in the world. The student life is really amazing, the environment is serene making it easy for learning to take place.
Studying under the Faculty of Education, University of Oxford, I also enjoyed immersing myself in the atmosphere I couldn’t find anywhere else. It’s a place that gives me so many inspirations and enlightenment. The staff is also friendly and willing to listen and respond to our requests. A very valuable experience!
View moreI’ve been departed for 6 years but it’s still my second home. The experience here opened my eyes to so much, gave me arguably the best three years of my life, and left me with the closest group of mates you could ask for.
The academics are constantly stimulating and challenging, and it’s only in hindsight you appreciate what a privilege it is to be discussing everything from Foucault to climate change to the economic liberalisation of western Africa with the genuine leading experts in each field. Don’t get me wrong, the courses are stretching and are tough, but by doing so they broaden your mind so quickly and constantly.
The city and the college infrastructure is a joy to be part of. It doesn’t feel stuffy, the colleges are a great support network, and there is so much fun to be had from rowing, rugby, football and the sports, to art, music and drama, to clubs (shout-out to Parked), bars, pubs and restaurants.
A word on access: I come from one of the poorest and most underrepresented parts of the country and absolutely adored my time there. It’s easy to think that the university isn’t for you but for some wealthier, more privileged ‘others’. But it’s just not true, it does welcome all and sundry as long as they’re willing to put the work in. If it can be my second home it can be anybody’s.
Quick disclaimer: it is a place that uses challenge to get the best out of people academically, and that won’t suit everybody’s preference. I do have close friends who are fellow alumni who would say the approach didn’t get the best out of them and they’d have preferred a less pressured approach. I can understand that as the interview process and final exams are two of the most demanding experiences I’ve been through. The interviews in fact were far harder than all my career application processes combined. But it is horses for courses so I recommend one thing for all – if you’re interested at all go and see it for yourself on an open day!
