Educational and developmental psychology is a diverse and rewarding field that applies psychological science to understand how people adapt to their circumstances within the context of their relationships and the broader systems around them.
Work in this field includes supporting individuals with assessment and therapy, and also includes supporting change at broader levels, such as promoting secure attachment relationships, creating and implementing group or whole-school intervention and prevention programs, and contributing to broader societal needs through advocacy, psychoeducation, and promoting psychological research.
Our graduates work as psychologists in diverse settings including, but not limited to, private practice, early intervention, infant and perinatal mental health, psychiatric settings, primary and secondary schools, disability services, hospital services, community outreach, higher education, child protection, corrections, child and youth mental health, and neurodevelopmental research.
