Course summary

Course Overview Explore young minds – with a degree that delves into the social, biological and cognitive issues that shape the way children think, feel and interact with the world around them. Why study with us

  • At our purpose-built child observation suite, you can witness, record and analyse children’s behaviour and interaction with toys, peers and adults.
  • While this is a specialist degree, it offers the well-rounded understanding of psychology to earn accreditation from the British Psychological Society (BPS).
  • We offer the chance to get involved in research, whether assisting or participating, with paid internships, placements and part-time roles.
What you'll do
  • While you’ll have a strong focus on child development, you’ll also have the flexibility to choose from various option modules as you progress.
  • You could take the chance to spend a year on placement, building workplace experience and professional skills to boost your career prospects when you graduate.
  • As this course shares a common first year with Forensic Psychology, Neuropsychology and more, you may have the chance to switch specialisms as your interests develop.
Accreditations
  • This course is accredited by the BPS, the learned and professional body, incorporated by the Royal Charter, for Psychology in the UK. We will provide you with the breadth and depth of knowledge that allows you to graduate with Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) provided you achieve at least a lower second class honours degree.
Future Careers Our Psychology of Child Development BSc (Hons) course offers the specialist skills for a range of roles working with children, but also provides the knowledge to open a broad range of other paths too.
