The Clinical Psychology stream is part of a multidisciplinary Research Master s programme Behavioural and Social Sciences which in 2008 ànd 2009 was ranked by students as the best Research Master s programme in the Netherlands in the behavioural and social sciences (Elsevier, 2008, 2009). Students are versed in empirical research guided by theory. The programme provides extensive training in clinical psychological theories and experimental techniques, and a focus on core psychopathology topics including, for example, biased cognitive processing and evidence-based interventions. Students also obtain in-depth and practical training in the most advanced statistical methods from experts in the field, including courses on experimental design and analysis of variance, applied statistics, and repeated measures. Students also learn to write research articles, reports, and proposals, including a course on how to write in English. Students from previous cohorts have published articles in top academic journals, participated in international research networks, presented their research on international conferences and received high-level research subsidies.

2 Student profile and how to apply student ranked Research Master progrhe highest student ranked Research Master programme in the Netherlands! The Clinical Psychology Research Master s programme in Groningen is unique from some of the larger Research Master s programmes in that it selects only a small number of students each year to engage in intensive individually guided research training supervised by internationally renown researchers. Students are embedded in research groups and also join others in the larger multidisciplinary Research Master s programme at the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, which contains approximately 30 students each year. In this entirely English-language programme, both students within and outside of the Netherlands are encouraged to apply. Some research assistantships and scholarships are available for talented applications. Funding is also available for participation in summer schools both within and outside of the Netherlands. The profile of our alumni is excellent with students either engaging in further research to obtain a PhD or pursuing a career as scientist-practitioner combining a PhD with a postdoctoral clinical training programme. We are recruiting students for the cohort to start on September 1, Candidates can apply from now on. Applying early may enhance chances of admission since the number of new students per year is limited. The deadline for applications for non-eu students is March 1 and for EU students May 1.
