Master of Arts in Psychology - Developmental Science

The Developmental Science Area trains students in theory and research related to the processes of change across the lifespan. Our students gain broad competence in developmental psychology and explore in depth one or more areas of specialization. The areas of specialization include cognition (e.g. attention, memory, problem-solving, executive functions), infant social-cognition, neuropsychology (e.g. using methods such as fMRI, event-related potentials, or patient studies), educational applications, infant memory and visual development, and comparative developmental and evolutionary psychology. Their research examines issues of development from infancy to adulthood into old age, in normal and atypical populations (including non-human primates).

To be eligible for a masters degree you must have graduated with an Honours undergraduate degree or equivalent typically a four year fulltime program from a recognized postsecondary institution.
