Summary

This course combines psychological theory and application to the study of cognitive functioning, its development through childhood and ageing, and its deficits encountered across disordered populations.

While studying with us, you'll draw on theory from multiple perspectives including cognitive, clinical, health, educational, biological, and social psychology, along with neuropsychology, neuroscience, and gerontology.

Highlights This course will:

  • Improve your psychological understanding of cognitive development and its disorders.

  • Demonstrate how this understanding informs the development and application of new real-world techniques for improving the assessment of cognitive functioning.

  • Develop your understanding of the diagnosis of deficits, delivery of support and intervention, training in education, gerontology and clinical implications.

  • Provide an advanced understanding of quantitative and qualitative research methods.

On this course, you'll be taught and supervised by subject experts at the forefront of current research who are actively publishing in their areas of expertise.

This gives you the opportunity to learn from those currently working with the NHS, industry and charities to improve educational, developmental, clinical, and health outcomes.
