Developmental psychology

This unit goes beyond giving a deeper understanding of the cognitive and behavioural functioning of healthy and clinical populations across the lifespan. You will build an understanding of the links between early and later development and why there is variability in development across individuals. The importance of considering cultural factors in development will be highlighted. You will extend your skills in scientific enquiry and writing to clearly communicate your understanding of developmental science to the general public, clinical and industry stakeholders. You will demonstrate that the skills and knowledge gained in your developmental science training are valuable for working and contributing meaningfully in clinical, research and industry settings.
