Overview

The Applied Developmental Psychology programme from Liverpool Hope University provides an enriching blend of advanced academic and practical training, designed to deepen your understanding of theoretical frameworks and key research. Through active engagement with multidisciplinary perspectives such as education, health, social work, law, and criminology, we emphasize the importance of research findings across communities and organisations. This emphasis enables you to connect research with policy and practice through our vibrant Communities of Practice.

The placement is mandatory and students will have the opportunity to engage with a placement within an external partner organisation, specialising in supporting young people and families. This invaluable experience allows you to apply developmental science and problem-solving capabilities in a multi-professional environment.

Career opportunities:

The programme provides a strong scientific background in developmental psychology that can be applied across all chartered professional and research areas in psychology and related disciplines. The potential to work with key stakeholders across a wide range of academic and applied settings places students in the best position to translate understanding of child development to multidisciplinary fields as well as engage in networking.

There is a strong focus on developing transferable skills; alongside effective communication, critical thinking, time management; we believe that the course offers a number of key opportunities to develop digital literacy and active citizenship skills.
