Applied Clinical Neuropsychology (M.Sc.)

Due to the large volume of applications, this application link will now close at the earlier date of Wednesday 7th June 2023. The admissions link for the 2024/25 intake will open in Autumn 2023.

This new MSc. programme is the first of its kind in Ireland and has been designed for psychology graduates with a keen interest in neuropsychology.

Students will join a vibrant community of academics and clinicians at the Academic Unit of Neurology, School of Medicine, and acquire a unique interdisciplinary, research-led learning experience, from experts in Neurology, Neuropsychology and Neuroscience.

Students will develop an understanding of key research methodologies used in the assessment of brain-behaviour relationships together with an extensive knowledge of the differential clinical presentations, diagnostic issues and neuropsychological profiles of a broad range of neurological disorders and diseases. Students will explore key concepts in neurorehabilitation and relevant therapies in the clinical care and management of these complex neurological conditions.

Topics covered will include:

• Structural and functional anatomy of the human brain;

• Acquired brain injury and neurorehabilitation;

• Concussion;

• Epilepsy;

• The Emotional Brain and Social Cognition;

• Clinical Neuroscience;

• Neuropsychiatric Disorders;

• Neurodegenerative Disorders;

• The Ageing Brain and Neurocognitive Disorders;

• Advanced Research Methods.

Students will be encouraged to adopt a clinical scientist/practitioner approach to their learning. Innovative assessment methods will reflect real life examples of the working lives of clinical and research neuropsychologists and cognitive/behavioural neurologists, whilst adhering to best academic practices in teaching and learning in higher education. Students will be offered the option of “clinical shadowing visits” in neurology and neuropsychology clinics in local teaching hospitals to enrich their learning experience.

This new Masters programme has been designed to equip psychology graduates with the underpinning knowledge and skills desired for assistant/research psychology posts, or for those who wish to pursue clinical/educational psychology/counselling training or entry to a PhD research programme.

Job Opportunity Potential

If you are an international student studying at Trinity, you might be considering internship and graduate work in Ireland, in your home country, or elsewhere. This section provides information for Non EU students on working in Ireland during and after your studies. For information and resources to support an international job search, see our Devex resource which includes international job search advice and information.

Employers value candidates who have more to offer than a good degree with high grades. They look for students who are well rounded and who have experience outside the classroom. Search for and take advantage of opportunities to gain experience, develop your skill set, and gain a clearer picture of what you like and don't like in terms of career options.

For example, you can get involved in some of the many student clubs and societies in college, volunteer or get a part time job. Remember that voluntary work is as valuable as paid work on your CV or resume - it's a great way to demonstrate your skills to future employers. Have a look at the TCD Civic Engagement website and check out volunteering opportunities in Ireland and abroad.
