Applied Behaviour Analysis MSc

Behaviour analysis is the science of understanding behaviour. Strategies derived from this science have a wealth of evidence demonstrating their effectiveness in helping individuals learn new skills and reduce harmful behaviours, ultimately improving their independence and quality of life. Applied behaviour analysis (ABA) – the applied branch of this science – is a rapidly growing field with broad practical applications. ABA is increasingly being used across mainstream education, special and inclusive education, health and social care services, and within organisational settings.\
