It is recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council as providing the basis for further study at doctoral level. Students will develop in-depth knowledge of specialised research skills, and be able to use a broad range of methods to critically appraise and conduct rigorous research in the field. Through the optional modules, students have the opportunity to develop an thorough understanding of the cognitive, neurobiological and social mechanisms involved in child development and education. This programme is suitable for those who wish to pursue a research career either in academia or the public or private sectors, or progress to further professional training.
