Course Overview

The Postgraduate Certificate CAMH (Child and Adolescent Mental Health) is distinctive in that it provides a non-clinical route for generalist and more specialist practitioners, managers and researchers to develop their knowledge of CAMH in a broad context. It is the only course of its kind in Wales and one of very few courses available in England.

The CAMH course will develop knowledgeable and reflective professionals who are able to draw on evidence-based practice in ways that will impact on the workplace and on outcomes for the children and young people in those services. It has been designed to provide opportunities for students to develop their professional knowledge, skills and understanding and most importantly their capacity for critical thinking.

Teaching

The CAMH course provides students with the knowledge, skills and understanding to develop as reflective practitioners. This is reflected in both the content and the process of the course. Both specialist modules (CAMH: Contexts and Concepts Managing and Supporting CAMH and SEBD) draw on problem-based learning, case study, role-play and practical sessions which all contribute to a rich learning experience.

The course is delivered on Monday and Tuesday evenings and each module is broken down into 10 sessions of three hours each. Taught sessions are supported by independent study and individual tutorials. Resources are provided electronically wherever possible and so most of the independent study can be undertaken off campus.

Entry Requirement 

  • A good first degree is preferred but experience is greatly valued.
     
  • For students choosing modules which have a placement component as part of the assessment process, you will need to provide evidence of a current enhanced DBS check (or its equivalent if you are an EU or international student)#

The course welcomes international applicants and requires an English level of IELTS 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in each component or equivalent.

An informal discussion with the course tutor will be arranged after application.
