Our MSc in Children's Psychological Conditions equips you with a thorough understanding of the psychological factors that cause and maintain emotional and behavioural problems in children – so you can make a real difference.
Taught by leading international experts, you will discover how mental health difficulties and neurodevelopmental conditions emerge in childhood.
