Course details

The MSc in Comparative, Evolutionary and Developmental Psychology is a one-year taught postgraduate programme run by the School of Psychology and Neuroscience.

This MSc programme explores the evolution and development of behaviour and cognition in human beings and non-human animals. It provides students with the academic knowledge and practical skills required to study the origins of the mind, using a broad range of theoretical perspectives and experimental approaches.

The modules are taught by renowned researchers, and students normally have the opportunity to conduct an independent research project.
