The Graduate Certificate (GradCert) Personality Disorder is a focused qualification in working with people who have a diagnosis of personality disorder.

It will give you the opportunity to develop specialised knowledge about the needs of people with personality disorder in a variety of settings. You will extend your knowledge, understanding and skills to support and meet the needs of the challenging experiences faced by people who are often stigmatised, isolated and rejected by society.

You will be taught by lecturers with a wide range of knowledge about personality disorder from diverse perspectives. In addition, an important contribution will be made from clinical experts in the School of Forensic Mental Health* (part of the Forensic Mental Health Managed Care Network in Scotland) and the health sector across Scotland.
