Preparing an Application for the MSc in Applied Psychology @ UoE

The MSc in Applied Psychology (Healthcare) for Children and Young People is a taught masters programme at the University of Edinburgh that trains psychology graduates to become clinical associates in applied psychology (CAAPs). It's well established that there is underrepresentation of people from ethnically minoritised backgrounds in psychology, including in the clinical associate role.

To support greater diversity in our applicants, trainee cohorts and clinical associate workforce, we would like to invite candidates from ethnically minoritised backgrounds to this 1 hour online seminar on the application process. You are welcome to join us if you are considering applying for the programme this year, or might want to apply in the future.

The seminar will cover:

What a clinical associate is, and what a typical day in the role looks like

• Practical steps for how to apply

• A detailed looked at the person specification for the role

• Hints and tips for the application process

• A chance for you to ask questions and meet some of the programme team.

The seminar will be hosted on Zoom. You will receive a link to the join via email.
