Spread over 4 diverse and enthralling units (as detailed on the ‘Modules’ tab, which you’ll find at the top), the Child Psychology course is an ideal choice for many people. From parents seeking to advance their communication skills and knowledge to professionals seeking a brand new career in a growing and rewarding industry, this could be the perfect course for you.
As a student, you’ll start by focussing on the various stages of a child’s development, the forming of attachments, the consequences of breaking those attachments (such as maternal deprivation) and the issues of social groups in nursery and school environments. You’ll also explore child language acquisition and development, and learn about child communication and other areas in detail.
These early units underpin the later focus on research methodology, learning theories and psychodynamics, issues surrounding behaviour management and even aggression.
All in all, this incredibly popular course is as stimulating as it is rewarding, and students will develop not only essential knowledge and insight; but also a set of highly sought-after transferable skills.
The highly popular Child Psychology course has no set entry requirements, and is designed to be as accessible as possible to prospective students. As long as you have a solid grasp of basic Mathematics and the English language, you are very welcome to apply. We will supply a detailed study guide to ensure your success with us, and your personal tutor will always be on hand to help you.
