Higher Diploma in Clinical Psychology

The Higher Diploma in Clinical Psychology/ Child life track is offered academically by the College of Medicine. The aim is to provide this opportunity to students who do not have the desire and/or resources to finish the full MCP, alternatively those that do not maintain the required cumulative GPA of 3.0 to graduate with a master’s degree in clinical psychology/ child life track.

  • Child Life Track: This program will provide clinical child life professionals with the competencies, skills, and practice required to provide evidence-based, developmentally, and psychologically appropriate interventions and clinical child life services that meet the emotional, developmental, and cultural needs of pediatric patients and their families undergoing healthcare encounters or hospitalization in hospitals across Saudi Arabia and the world.
