Solid foundation
Strathclyde has been a pioneer in the field of educational psychology for almost a half a century, making significant contributions to research, practice and education policy.
The journey of educational psychology at Strathclyde reflects a commitment to understanding, improving and transforming the landscape of education through psychological insights. This historical overview showcases the university's achievements, milestones and enduring impact in this crucial field.
Global outreach and support
Strathclyde's educational psychology students gained international recognition for their research and expertise through our celebrated MSc programme, DEdPsy and research publications.
The university hosts conferences, workshops, and seminars that attracted scholars, practitioners, and policymakers from around the world. This global outreach not only expanded our influence but also facilitates cross-cultural knowledge exchange and collaboration.
Professional standards
The HCPC has updated its standards of proficiency for the first time since 2015. The crucial changes have been made following an extensive period of engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, to seek views and develop standards in line with current professional practice. The revised standards set clear expectations of registrants' knowledge and ability in a healthcare landscape which has changed and evolved in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Updating the standards was a crucial component in fulfilling our purpose to promote excellence in the professions we regulate, and champion high-quality care that the public can acces safely and with confidence. The biggest change for EPs is regarding continuing professional development.
Continuing our relationship with our doctoral graduates
At the University of Strathclyde, we are people-centred and our commitment to education extends beyond degrees. We envision a thriving community where the learning journey doesn't end with graduation but continues as a lifelong pursuit of excellence. We aim to provide a supportive, collaborative and innovative space for our esteemed doctorate graduates to continue flourishing, contributing to the field, and engaging in a journey of perpetual growth.
