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.
