Psychology of Child Development, MSc

Examining development allows us to understand how change takes place from infancy to adulthood. Our course explores in-depth child and adolescent development. You'll explore development in different domains such as cognitive, social and emotional. The course provides a thorough understanding of the methodology, analysis, current research, and theory in the field of developmental psychology.

Studying a range of modules unique to this course you will gain a broad understanding of developmental psychology. You'll be taught by a course team providing a global perspective. Each team member delivers teaching in an area related to their own area of research expertise, such as:

• Language
• Literacy
• Learning
• Bullying
• Loneliness
• Social relationships
• Brain development
• Developmental disorders.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the latest theories, interventions, and applications of psychology relevant to working with children and adolescents. You will also conduct research using a range of techniques used to understand children’s behaviour and development.

The School is equipped with two laboratories. In these labs you'll develop a deeper understanding of the psychology of child development.

The Child Observation Suite provides a facility for the observation and understanding of children’s behaviour.

The Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience lab enables a detailed examination of the brain and visual systems of young children and adolescents through a range of techniques, including eye tracking and electroencephalography (EEG).
