This is a highly selective 2-year UCL international Masters programme, with the first year based at University College London and the second year based at Yale, New Haven in the USA. Typically 10 students are accepted each year. This a unique programme that equips students with an understanding of neuroscience research, a sound grasp of psychoanalytic theory and multiple perspectives on developmental disorders such as autism, depression, anxiety and conduct disorder.
