Tue, 12 Sep 2023

Psychology graduates are being offered the opportunity to train as an educational and child psychologist (TEP), whilst developing their practice in Manx schools.

It will see one graduate on a three-year professional qualification at Nottingham University – fully funded by the Department of Education, Sport and Culture (DESC).

The Applied Doctorate in Educational Psychology will require the graduate to study full-time at Nottingham University for one year, before splitting their time between their studies and working with young people in Isle of Man schools.

The Department is also introducing a series of monthly forums, led by their Lead Educational & Child Psychologist, Jonny Fee, to give potential candidates the best possible chance when submitting their applications in March 2024.

Fee said: “This is a rare and exciting opportunity to complete a funded professional qualification. Working with young people is a privilege and I urge psychology graduates to come to the forums and find out more.”

The first forum will be held at University College Isle of Man’s Christory’s Restaurant on September 18 at 4.30pm and anyone interested in attending can email ECP.Team@sch.im
