The programme aims to provide students with: •        An in-depth knowledge of the basic science, characteristics and presentation of psychiatric illness. •        An understanding of how psychiatric illness is managed and the appropriateness of specific management plans. •        The ability to critically appraise, synthesise and evaluate research relating to psychiatric illness. •        A developing critical independence and intellectual integrity with specific reference to Psychiatry. The programme is a valuable and detailed introduction to the main types of psychiatric illness but does not at any stage entitle anyone enrolled or graduating from it to call themselves a Psychiatrist or Psychologist or to prescribe drugs or to otherwise manage psychiatric illness (if they could not previously do so as specified by their specific registration or licence to practice).
