Overview

The Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology programme offered at the University College London (UCL) provides students with an excellent foundation in developmental psychopathology and neuroscience, with a focus on:

The emergence of childhood clinical disorders (e.g. autism, depression and PTSD)

Multiple theoretical frameworks of disorder

Research practice, including science communication

The translational issues around research and psychological treatments

Careers

Typically our students are interested in pursuing a research or clinical career. Of students who graduated within the last two years, 20% are now enrolled on PhD programmes; 40% are employed as research associates, 20% are undertaking further training and the remaining 20% are undertaking clinical work.

Employability

The two-year structure allows students to not only develop in-depth theoretical knowledge and research skills but also provides the opportunity to undertake a substantial piece of research under the mentorship of a leading Yale academic and their research lab.

A grounding in quantitative analysis and fMRI/EEG skills combined with a focus on clinical disorders during childhood make students particularly attractive as prospective PhD candidates and doctoral Clinical Psychology applicants. Students are encouraged to publish their research where possible.
