The Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology, a three-year full-time professional training program, has received approval from the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This program covers the British Psychological Society's (BPS) essential curriculum through five key units: Professional Skills, Development (Ages 0-25), Learning Contexts for Children, Research in Educational Psychology, and Mental Health and Well-being. Upon completion, graduates qualify for HCPC registration as Educational Psychologists - a mandatory requirement for professional practice under this title. Students who partially complete the program may receive an MPhil exit award, though this doesn't qualify them for HCPC registration as practitioner psychologists.
