Clinical Activities Report
Full course description
Students specialising in forensic psychology are required to conduct a clinical internship in an approved setting. The clinical internship can be conducted in conjunction with the research internship or separately. Students are required to submit a report on their experiences during the clinical internship. Requirements for this report are provided to students via Canvas. Students start their internship by defining their Intended Learning Outcomes.
This clinical internship lasts a minimum of 5 months (520 hours). In addition to the clinical internship, Dutch students may want to acquire a qualification in Psychodiagnostics (“NIP Basisaantekening Psychodiagnostiek”). The Master’s in Forensic Psychology will also allow graduates from the programme to meet the entry demands of the postmaster’s education as a Health Care Psychologist (‘GZ-Verklaring’).
