Can the postgraduate modules be followed in any order? Module 1 – I am not prepared to follow it in October. Hence can I start from Module 2 in Jan 2011 and complete module 1 in 2012?
Hi Maria, as you have probably read this MSc consists of 4 taught modules ( 2 taught per year). They offer and overview of developmental disorders and current thinking; the assessment and diagnosis of a range of disorders such as DCD/Dyspraxia,ADHD and ASD. The second year modules include one that encourages the students to critically review the current management and treatment of the disorders and the final taught one is helping you to plan your research project. Having successfully completed the taught section of the course you then embark on the dissertation.
Each module is approx 12 weeks in length and you attend the univereity for 5 days at the beginning of each one. You are then supported online to complete your assignment.
If you have any specifc questions about this course please e-mail them to me on the above address. If you are interested in the modules that run purely for DCD/Dyspraxia and ADHD please contact the Dyscovery centre directly.
I hope this is helpful,
SALLY
