This programme is an advanced professional development programme involving some or all of the following: distance learning, study workshops. Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities can be completed mainly by distance learning. Our postgraduate courses improve employability prospects for both those with established careers and new entrants to the field. Many of our students already work with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in professional, management or supporting capacities. Our programmes support their continuing professional development and enhance their opportunities for career advancement. Other students, who are at the beginning of their careers, move on to a range of professional roles in health and social care including working as psychologists in learning disability or behavioural specialists in community learning disability teams, service management of development roles, clinical psychology training or a PhD.
