The aim of the MSc Neurodiversity and Development is to provide advanced research training for those interested in pursuing careers in the field of research, developmental psychology, neurodiversity and clinical or educational psychology.
The subject-specific and generic postgraduate training, provided by the course, enables you to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding required of a professional conducting research in neurodiversity, clinical, child development or other fields.
Research training forms a key focus of the MSc course. In addition to providing training in basic research, the course aims to integrate research perspectives from the fields of developmental psychology, neurodiversity, clinical and educational psychology. This distinctive emphasis is reflected in the learning outcomes, structure and assessment of the course.
The course is divided into three parts. Three modules assess subject specific knowledge related to development (including neurotypical and neurodivergent). A further three modules assess research skills, including critical thinking abilities and statistical knowledge. The final part of the course is the dissertation module, which culminates in the production of an independent and original body of research material under supervision from a member of staff.
