Overview
The mission of the Child and Adolescent Psychology MSc programme at Leiden University is to facilitate children’s and adolescents’ optimal development. We do this by empowering students to then empower young people to successfully negotiate the hurdles inherent to development. This requires accounting for the young person’s family and school contexts and the other contexts in which they live (e.g., culture and free time).
The programme offers intensive courses in understanding, assessing, and treating the wide range of psychological and educational difficulties that may be experienced by young people.
Students can orient their study programme towards work with young people in clinical and/or educational settings.
