This module has been designed to build on trainees’ work in (PSYC6172, Research 1), in which they prepared a full scientific case and associated detailed study methods and design for their DClinPsych thesis. It will assess their skills in preparing i) an application to the University of Southampton ethics committee (via ERGO-2) for approval of their empirical study and ii) to conduct a systematic literature review (and pre-registering their protocol for this) and, furthermore, iii) to assess their skills in designing, conducting and reporting a small scale research project (typically within an NHS service / and associated with a clinical placement).

Regarding their thesis, trainees will make substantial progress on their systematic literature reviews and empirical studies.
They will submit their ethics proposal for their empirical study via the University of Southampton ERGO-2 system and, if needed, the relevant NHS Health Research Authority / IRAS system(s) and, should begin their data collection.
They will develop their systematic literature review question(s), and pre-register their study (if with a health-focused outcome, on PROSPERO; or, if a non-health focused outcome, elsewhere online, such as the Open Science Framework).

Regarding their small scale research project (SSRP) the module aims to offer trainees an opportunity to work within clinical psychology services to develop a research question and implement a project that generates new knowledge in the field of clinical psychology and serves to extend the discipline.

This will build on trainees’ work in Research 1, and prepare trainees to undertake their doctoral level research projects in year three of their DClinPsych studies (within module PSYC8048 'Research 3'). As part of a series of research modules, it provides trainees with knowledge and skills to develop proficiency in the Health and Care Professions Council Standards of Proficiency 12 and 13.

This module has been designed to drive trainees’ completion of their DClinPsych thesis, comprising a bridging chapter, systematic literature review and an empirical study, which they began in 'Research 1', and developed in 'Research 2'. As part of a series of research modules, it provides trainees with knowledge and skills to develop proficiency in the Health and Care Professions Council Standards of Proficiency 12 and 13.

During the first term, trainees will begin their ‘research placement’, most usually in parallel to their specialist clinical placement. During their ‘research placement’, they will have 70 days of dedicated time to work on their thesis (systematic literature review and empirical studies). These 70 days typically span from early in the first term, to mid-way through the third term, when they submit their thesis for examination. Most often, the research placement is more intensive in the first term, and less intensive (i.e., fewer days per week), during the second and third terms.

Typically, during the first term, trainees will complete their empirical data collection and their data extraction for their systematic literature review studies. In the second term (when trainees will typically have fewer days per week on ‘research placement’ than in the first term), trainees will iteratively draft and improve the written sections of the papers comprising their thesis, and submit their ‘intention to submit the thesis’ form. In the third term, trainees will present their research work at the Annual School of Psychology Postgraduate Research Conference. Trainees will usually be examined, via viva voce, during the third term of the third year (often early July).

Monitoring progress
Very near the beginning of the first term (typically early October), trainees will submit a first formative ‘thesis progress report’. During the second term (typically mid-February) trainees will submit a second formative ‘thesis progress report’. This is to allow the DClinPsych Research Team to monitor trainees’ progress from the beginning of the ‘research placement’ as they move towards completion of their doctoral research.

This project occupies the whole of the fourth year of, and thus completes, the MPhys degree in Physics with a Year of Experimental Research. This module entirely consists of a research-level project and its written description.

Modern psychological research involves a wide array of different research skills. Many of these skills are practical in nature, including the writing and approval of ethical applications, the use of specific hardware and software, and the day-to-day running of research projects. All of these skills support activities that are vital to the completion of high-quality research.

The Research Apprenticeship module will provide students with the opportunity to enhance their skills in quantitative or qualitative research through working with a designated supervisor on a given research project. Their skills will be supplemented by targeted training using specific hardware and software techniques.

The Apprenticeship in Cognitive Psychology will be supervised by a Cognitive Psychologist.
