PostgraduateCourse summary
Change and diversity are essential characteristics of the cognition, behaviour, and brains of children, adolescents, and adults. This MSc takes neurodiversity as a framework for understanding development across the whole human lifespan and how development varies between people. Embark on a unique opportunity to gain advanced training in how to characterise diversity and development, and how to study them with the latest research designs and statistical methods. This course provides a framework for understanding the factors that impact brain and behaviour across the entire population and lifespan. This includes understanding conditions like autism and ADHD as part of this variation, and recognising the necessity to acknowledge, appreciate, comprehend, and accommodate this diversity.
- Engage with a diverse group of internationally renowned researchers from the University of Birmingham's Centre for Developmental Science, professionals, and individuals with personal experience of neurodiversity.
- Able to tailor your studies to own interest by combining optional modules on clinical psychology, developmental diversity, neuroscience, mental health and advanced data analysis.
- Lay a strong foundation for the next phase of your career, whether that involves pursuing an academic PhD position, enrolling in an educational or clinical doctorate program, or securing a professional role in the workplace.
