Psychology and Human Development MPhil/PhD

Students on the MPhil/PhD programme carry out research in the areas of developmental psychology (particularly in relation to education), mental health, special educational needs (SEN) and educational neuroscience. Potential candidates are advised to explore UCL IRIS and the Psychology and Human Development department website to identify appropriate supervisors before submitting an application.

We offer the largest group of psychologists in the UK dedicated to research in education, child and adolescent development. Neuroscience is at the cutting edge of psychology and we work in partnership with colleagues in UCL Psychology & Language Sciences and Birkbeck to extend our reach in this area.
