Course Overview

The MEd Autism is suitable for those pursuing part-time study in this area. It's ideal if you're seeking a qualification while working that will enhance your professional practice.

The course provides a critical understanding of the conceptual frameworks relevant to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This Masters-level course will enable you to understand complex cognitive and affective theories essential to supporting the autism profile.

This knowledge will help you translate theory into practice and critically evaluate evidence-based intervention approaches. Our philosophy that autistic people require a holistic approach throughout their life journey means you can draw on the experiences of our multi-professional student cohort. Our students include leading professionals, students on the spectrum and those with dual professional-parental backgrounds. Your learning will be inspired by input provided by internationally respected autism experts.

  • educational psychologists

  • speech & language therapists
