There are over 68,000 certified behaviour analysts worldwide and this number is predicted to rise given that professional approval is seen as the key to delivering high quality services to individuals, families, in schools and in related settings. Furthermore, behaviour analysis is increasingly being applied to general education, special education, health and social care settings and organisational leadership settings.
This programme is a highly interactive learning programme. All key teaching takes place online with on-campus seminars taking place once per semester. The programme provides professionals from a wide range of backgrounds with scientifically validated expertise that is applicable to mainstream and special needs education, inclusion, curriculum, learning, and pedagogy. It should be of interest to professionals wishing to become a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA®) (only applicable for students residing in the United States), a UKBA(cert) and to those in the ‘helping’ professions (e.g. teachers, speech/language therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists) as well as students preparing for PhD studies.
Please note that unfortunately this course is not eligible for a Student visa.
Closing date for applications: Friday 29th August 2025 at 4pm.
