Developmental Psychology degrees

Studying developmental psychology

Developmental psychology is the study of children’s development, both cognitively and socially. On a course like this, you’ll consider typical development as well as atypical development. You’ll be able to identify if a child’s development is delayed or taking an alternative path, which will allow for early intervention if required. Developmental psychology is an ideal course to study if you’re interested in careers such as educational psychologist, child and adolescent psychologist, child health officer, family support officer or as a teacher. There are also options for postgraduate study should you wish to deepen your knowledge after your degree.
