Modules

You will study many different developmental disorders. These include neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADHD and Communication disorders, as well as childhood clinical and behavioural disorders. You will also look at the wider context of developmental disorders, such as diversity, inclusion, cultural issues, and theoretical perspectives on development. You will gain an insight into some more advanced or specialised techniques for psychological research. These include data collection, organisation and analysis (eg eye-tracking, EEG, fMRI, TMS, computational modeling, diary methodologies and workshops). Our professional skills core module contains a number of workshops examining areas such as presentation and writing skills, careers, understanding the wider context of research, consultancy, and practical and ethical issues. You will carry out an individual research project with an empirical component. You will work with an active-researcher who will be your supervisor. You will have the opportunity to apply for the British Psychological Society qualification of Test User, Educational (CCET), following completion of the Psychological Assessment module.
