Course summary

Course Overview

Our Developmental Science Master’s programme will give you real nuanced insight into developmental psychological science with one of the UK’s largest groups of developmental psychologists.

The MSc combines research methods training with holistic in-depth study of the subject. You’ll gain hands-on experience of key research methods such as eye-tracking, EEG, NIRS, and other experimental techniques used for working with infants and children. Facilities include the state-of-the-art Developmental Dynamics laboratory.

One of the programme’s key strengths is the opportunity to experience modern psychological research methods firsthand. This includes a research placement, tailored to the specific skills you need to further your research goals. The course builds to a substantial piece of Master’s research, which you’ll undertake with the supervision of active researchers.

The course is ideal if you're a high-calibre graduate of psychology or a related discipline, looking to develop the specific methodological and analytical skills essential to developmental science. It's great preparation for a PhD in developmental or educational psychology, or for a career with a significant research element. Take a look at the School of Psychology’s webpage to find a researcher who works on a topic that interests you. You may pursue a career as a researcher in developmental science or work in national government, development organisations, or data management and processing.
