I have been working in healthcare for a year now and am interested in neuropsychology. During college i interned on a traumatc brain injury unit and instead decided to persue a degree in economics.

I am now rethinking my long term goals and am looking for advice/information on graduate programs.

To be a clinical neuropsychologist, what sort of degrees are needed? Do I need a PHD or a masters? Are their University programs that are focussed on neuropscyhology or do I need to enrol in a psychology program that has a neuropsych major?

Well I'm from the UK and in order to study neuropsychology, you must first poses a doctorate in clinical psychology (or a PhD). Then you would go on to do a further degree (usually a masters e.g. MPhil) in clinical neuropsychology.
