Behaviour analysts focus on understanding how a person’s interactions with the environment influence behaviour. They use this information to design effective interventions that will help people learn more appropriate behaviours, as well as reducing challenging behaviour.
Approved by the Behaviour Analysis Certification Board (BACB), the international regulatory body for the practice of behaviour analysis, the MSc Behaviour Analysis and Therapy equips students with skills in behaviour analysis and therapy relevant to a range of educational and clinical settings.
It provides a solid understanding of the scientific principles that underpin behaviour analysis, and the therapeutic techniques derived from those principles. You will be taught by a team of Board Certified Behaviour Analysts who are internationally-recognised for their research and clinical work in the field.
Applicants typically will have a minimum of a 2:1 Honours degree in Psychology or Education, or a related subject (e.g., Social Work, Nursing). Lower degree classifications (and other subject areas) may be considered for applicants with substantial experience in behaviour analysis.
An Enhanced DBS check may be required depending on your placement.
