Taking further educational steps and deciding where to specialise and obtain a master's degree could be difficult. As a soon-to-be graduate in BA psychology, I was eager to find a university and postgraduate programme that would deliver top-quality education in one year. Thankfully, my dear friend recommended looking into the clinical psychology programme offered by Erasmus University Rotterdam, which instantly felt like a perfect match. The programme strongly focuses on practical skills and theoretical knowledge regarding adult psychopathology and its research. With two possible tracks to choose from: clinical or research, I believe anyone can find what matches their interests best. Personally, I followed the clinical track, which has taught me a variety of treatment techniques within couple and behavioural-cognitive therapy and has confidently prepared me for future counselling.
Nevertheless, it is an intensive programme, requiring a lot of individual and group effort to solve problems encountered in the field. We were often given material that required deeper and unconventional thinking, which inspired us to dive into topics that are current or future focuses in psychology. And if in doubt, thankfully, the professors and tutors who had extensive experience and were highly skilled professionals were always happy to help and navigate the unknown. If you want to become a skilled clinical psychologist and acquire up-to-date knowledge within the mental health field, the Clinical Psychology master's at EUR is just for you!
