Research Project
The research module will involve constructing and executing a substantial research project, usually conducted in connection with a topic / theme relevant to the overall masters programme. Capitalising the on the links between the course and local services, there may be opportunities to conduct research within partner organisations (e.g. NHS trusts, mental health charities, forensic units) as well as undertaking research based on topics generated by academics based within the department of psychology. We also encourage students who come to the program with connections as a consequence of previous professional experience, to undertake projects that are linked to interests they have already established. For students on BPS accredited masters programmes, the dissertation will take the form of an empirical research project involving primary data collection and submission of an individual ethics proposal.

Understanding Neurodiversity
The module explores the origins of neurodiverse traits, developmental and diagnostic factors, evolving public perceptions, common comorbidities and what educational, employment and health related support neurodivergent groups may require. Students will examine the balance between treatment and acceptance and critique how social, medical and neurodiversity models frame neurodivergent conditions. The potential for new neurodevelopmental conditions (NDCs) awaiting formal classification is also discussed, with students evaluating evidence for these emerging groups.
