The Master of Science (MSc) in Developmental Disorders at Nottingham University (which aligns with the parallel programme in the UK campus) will give advanced theoretical knowledge of the psychological aspects of neuro-developmental, clinical and behavioural conditions that become apparent during childhood and affect a child’s life in several areas. Examples of developmental disorders are Autism, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Tic Disorders, and Learning Disorders (such as dyslexia or dysgraphia).
When completing this MSc, you will have expertise in cutting-edge research methods that are suited to investigating psychological aspects of neuro-developmental, clinical and behavioural conditions; and practical knowledge on aspects of diagnosis and assessment, management strategies and plans to support children with developmental disorder. As such, this MSc combines scientific research with clinical psychological practice.
An upper second class honours degree (or international equivalent) in Psychology or a related discipline. Some prior experience with quantitative research methods and/or statistics will usually be required. Applicants who have obtained a second lower class honours degree will be considered on a case-by-case basis, dependent on their profile of performance or work experience. Non-UK qualifications will be assessed against this standard.
If deemed necessary, applicants may also be required to attend an interview.
Please, get in touch with the MSc course director (Steve.Janssen@nottingham.edu.my) to discuss scholarships and awards.

The only way for us to fully determine eligibility is through the submission of a completed application.
Entry requirements in the prospectus and website may not always apply and individual offers may vary.
The course consists of 3 semesters (full-time). The autumn and spring semester include taught modules, and the research project will be done in the summer. Part-time students will complete half of the taught modules in the first year and the other half in the second year, and they will conduct their research project in the summer term of the second year. Teaching methods include workshops, lectures, seminars and research supervision, while assessment includes essays, research reports, literature reviews, case studies and presentations.
