Course summary

The MSc in Applied Developmental Psychology provides students with a rigorous foundation in developmental science, combining theoretical depth with applied relevance to explore how children and young people develop in real-world contexts. Drawing on current research, the programme examines cognitive, emotional, and social development from infancy through adolescence, with particular emphasis on the influence of early adversity, family dynamics, and neurodiversity on developmental trajectories.
