Overview

This Psychology with Development and Education (Hons) degree from Abertay University focuses on child and adolescent development. Gain the knowledge and expertise you need to work effectively with children and young people.

You’ll develop a deep understanding of children’s minds, emotions, and behaviours at different life stages, including those with divergent needs.

There’s also a work placement option to help you put theory into practice. You'll cover topics such as:

Language, communication, social relationships and social interaction.
Learning and Education across childhood.
Changing patterns of childhood experience including interactions with technology.
Atypical child development such as neurodivergence, developmental disorders, and mental health issues that typically emerge in childhood.
