MSc Developmental Science and Neurodiversity
Course Overview
This MSc course offers advanced training in understanding human development through the framework of neurodiversity, exploring how cognition, behaviour, and the brain vary across the entire lifespan. You will learn to characterize and study this diversity using the latest research designs and statistical methods, preparing you for a career in research or applied practice. The program provides unique opportunities to engage with leading researchers, practitioners, and individuals with lived experience.
Key Program Highlights
- Gain expertise in the neurodiversity framework, understanding conditions like autism and ADHD as part of natural human variation.
- Master advanced research designs and statistical methods to rigorously study development and individual differences.
- Learn from and interact with the University of Birmingham's Centre for Developmental Science, a hub for cutting-edge research.
- Engage with diverse perspectives through interactions with practitioners and people with lived neurodivergent experience.
- Tailor your degree with optional modules in advanced data analysis, neuroscience methods, and mental health.
