This course focuses on infant and child development and will improve your understanding of both social and cognitive development. You’ll also gain the academic skills which are necessary for developmental research.
The course deals with questions such as:
How can we support social-communication impairments in Autism Spectrum Disorder?
Does a self-awareness influence children’s memory?
How does language acquisition differ in bilingual and school learning contexts?
What does the latest research tell us about mental health and wellbeing in infants, children and adolescents?
You will have the opportunity to take part in ongoing research that the University is conducting in partnership with local education services. This will enable you to observe and participate in nursery settings, giving you the practical experience of conducting psychological research with young children.
This course will improve your career prospects in the fields of psychology and child development, including educational psychology and clinical psychology. Several students have taken the course to move into jobs as support workers or advisers in educational or third-sector settings or to secure posts as assistant psychologists.
This qualification will also help further your career if you are already working with children, for example as an educational practitioner or a speech and language therapist.
The Pre Masters Program will prepare you for the UK, EU or US study system, giving you the confidence and skills that you’ll need to go further in your studies. Depending on your academic qualification and English language level and chosen programme, you can study the IIM over one or two terms.
