Coventry and Warwick

The course has been developed between Coventry University, the University of Warwick and NHS providers and was established in 1998. It has a long history of training effective clinical psychology practitioners who have become highly valued and respected members of the health and social care workforce.

The course is situated within the School of Health and Care at Coventry University and also embedded within the Department of Psychology (Faculty of Science) at the University of Warwick. This context provides a unique academic and practical environment for training clinical psychologists to work in the NHS and trainees additionally benefit from having access to the combined facilities of two universities (e.g. libraries, counselling services) for the duration of the course.

Personal Support

In keeping with the collaborative course ethos, trainees are encouraged to seek support from course staff, peers and supervisors. There is "buddy system" of trainee peer support and trainees can also access one of a number of clinicians who act as personal tutors. Both universities have student support and counselling/wellbeing services, which provide a confidential service, in addition to the staff wellbeing services available to trainees as employees of an NHS trust.
