MSc Affective Disorders

The purpose of this unique programme is to meet the growing need for graduate training in affective disorders, which are projected to become the second leading contributor to global burden of disease by 2020, a burden reflected in the notable expansion of mental health services for this target group. Our MSc will help address this challenge by providing world-class specialised training to existing mental health professionals and graduates interested in working in this area. Our course provides training in the key scientific and methodological aspects of affective disorders, their care and related research. A multidisciplinary approach will be used, capitalising on the most recent findings from a range of clinical and non-clinical disciplines including psychiatry, psychology, genetics, neuroscience, epidemiology and biostatistics. The programme offers a strong clinical element, including practical experience of clinical cases and evidence-based methodologies. See also:
