Course overview Embark on an exciting journey through the complexities of the brain and how each person's unique wiring contributes to the diversity of our species. Change and diversity are essential characteristics of the cognition, behaviour, and brains of children, adolescents, and adults. This MSc takes neurodiversity as a framework for understanding development across the whole human lifespan and how development varies between people. Embark on a unique opportunity to gain advanced training in how to characterise diversity and development, and how to study them with the latest research designs and statistical methods. Course highlights This course provides a framework for understanding the factors that impact brain and behaviour across the entire population and lifespan. This includes understanding conditions like autism and ADHD as part of this variation, and recognising the necessity to acknowledge, appreciate, comprehend, and accommodate this diversity.
You should have a 2:1 Honours degree in Psychology or a related discipline, and you must have achieved at least a 2:1 (or equivalent) in your research dissertation, demonstrating experience in planning and conducting research and analysing data. If you did not achieve a 2:1 in your final-year research project but have gained significant research experience in a relevant research setting, your application may still be considered on a case-by-case basis.
