Candidates (who may be social workers, nurses, psychologists or occupational therapists) should: be registered with a professional body; have at least two years’ post qualifying experience; have relevant experience of working with people with mental disorders; have the support of their employer and access to appropriate learning opportunities; have either a Bachelor or Master’s Degree or, in exceptional circumstances, where this academic requirement is not met, applicants must satisfy the Director of the Programme that their experience and qualifications equip them to undertake postgraduate study. This can be evidenced by, for example, a relevant Post Qualifying Award; candidates who do not hold a degree may be required to attend an interview. Please note this programme is not open to international applicants.
