ClinPsyD in Neuropsychology

Hiya, I am currently an undergraduate Psychology BSc student. I have been starting to look at post-graduate courses and found an amazing Doctorate in Clinical Neuropsychology. However, the entry requirements state I must have considerable experience in treating neurological disorders and in research. It also states that any voluntary or paid experience during my undergraduate degree will not be suitable in fulfilling these requirements. I'm stuck with how I can get this experience. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Can you link to what course you are actually looking at?

This course isn't specifically neuro-based, unless you can specialize, but I believe it includes neurological disorders. Thanks.

Yes that makes sense. A specialist course in Neuropsychology (the one that helps you train as a practitioner Neuropsychologist) is generally done after the Doctorate (normally a masters- this may sound confusing but its basically applied knowledge built on Clinical Psychologist training). So while you routinely get neuropsychology experience on the doctorate (for example i did a 6 month placement on it) it is not the same as specialist training to be a Neuropsychologist.
Please read the other thread i made which should answer your other query about experience (https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7410073).
The short of it is that you will need many years of relevant paid experience and most likely a masters to be even considered for a place on the doctorate.
Hope this helps

thank you so much for responding! I was also wondering about QiCN. Do students acquire it automatically after they finish their specialized training? or is it a separate course? Thank you again
