Public Choice - Private Interest (SEES0109)

This module is open to MA students only.

This module introduces students to Public Choice theory, a field analysing political processes using the tools of economics. In particular, the political arena is presented as a market where the interactions of different political actors pursuing their private interest shape policies.



The module is divided in 2 sections. During the first 5 weeks, different political actors, their roles, objectives and scope of actions will be presented and analysed. The following 5 weeks will be dedicated to the study of narrower topics in Political Economy, namely: taxation, redistribution, sectoral policies and political systems. We will conclude by discussing market and state failures.

Supervision Theory and Context (PSYC0248)

This module will introduce students to the CYP IAPT model, policy drivers, core concepts and the relevant national curriculum. Students will learn how supervision can enhance a trainee therapist’s knowledge of the broader CAMHS context, its range and scope, local organisational structures and the multi-agency context including work in schools. They will be introduced to relevant theory, models and interventions to support trainee therapists under their supervision within the workplace. Alongside this, students will learn the importance of supervision as a space for support, teaching, clinical discussion, problem-solving and reflection with trainees, in addition to considering how to give constructive advice, direction and critical analysis to aid trainee therapists.
