该计划遵循学徒制模式，这意味着从研究生学习的第一天起，您就有机会与教师紧密合作，研究发展心理学领域的研究项目。发展心理学课程的学生有机会学习各种各样的经验方法，从更传统的方法（例如调查，访谈或行为评估）到高度创新的方法（例如眼动追踪，叙事和话语分析或层次线性建模） ）。鼓励学生与多个教职员工合作，以充分利用其各个专业领域的优势。您将至少完成五门半学分课程和一份研究论文，该论文是在一名具有发展管理地位的发展心理学系的指导下进行的。
This program follows an apprenticeship model, meaning that you have the opportunity to work closely with faculty on research projects in the area of developmental psychology from the very first day of your graduate studies. Students in the Developmental Psychology program have the opportunity to learn a wide variety of empirical methods, ranging from more traditional (e.g. surveys, interviews or behavioural assessments) to highly innovative methods (e.g. eye-tracking, narrative and discourse analysis, or hierarchical linear modelling). Students are encouraged to work with multiple faculty members to take advantage of their various areas of expertise. <br><br>At the completion of the Master of Arts in Psychology with a concentration in Developmental Psychology (typically after one to two years), you'll graduate with a solid foundation in theoretical perspectives and research methods relevant to developmental psychology. You likely will have at least one manuscript in preparation to submit to a journal, and have done several poster or paper presentations at national and international conferences.
