Course summary

Overview Our Developmental Science Master’s programme offers deep insights into developmental psychology. You'll learn from one of the largest groups of developmental psychologists in the UK. The MSc combines research methods training with holistic in-depth study of the subject. You'll learn key research methods, including eye-tracking, EEG, NIRS, and other techniques for studying infants and children. Facilities include the state-of-the-art Developmental Dynamics laboratory. A key strength of the programme is its hands-on experience with modern psychological research methods. This includes a research placement. Both help you gain skills for your research and employment goals. The course leads to a substantial Master’s research project. You’ll work on this with support from active researchers. This course is perfect for top graduates in psychology or related fields. These include medicine, neuroscience, and biological sciences. Take a look at the School of Psychology’s webpage to find a researcher who works on a topic that interests you. This is great preparation for a PhD in developmental or educational psychology. It can also lead to a research-related career. Possibilities include work in national government, development organisations, or data management and processing.
