The program will equip graduates with the clinical skills required to practice as clinical psychologists, and will provide them with a wide range of importance research competencies.

The fusion of these capabilities enables our graduates to integrate evidence-based approaches with practice-based evidence to achieve optimal outcomes for their clients.
