Applied Behaviour Analysis MSc
Behaviour analysis has been recognized as the basis for medically necessary intervention and educational provision for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders. With the growing prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (now estimated to be 1:59) behavior analysis has experienced a significant rise in popularity.
There are over 29,000 certified behavior analysts worldwide and this number is predicted to rise given that professional approval is seen as the key to delivering high-quality services to individuals, families, in schools and in related settings. Furthermore, behavior analysis is increasingly being applied to general education, special education and organizational leadership settings.
This programme is a highly interactive blended learning programme (mostly online with some face to face workshops) providing professionals from a wide range of backgrounds with scientifically validated expertise that is applicable to mainstream and special needs education, inclusion, curriculum, learning, and pedagogy. It should be of interest to professionals wishing to become Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA®), to those in the ‘helping’ professions (e.g. teachers, speech/language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists) and students preparing for PhD studies.
