• Educational Psychology course prepares students for a professional qualification which will enable them to work in Children’s Services and to provide help with the major developmental and educational problems presented by children to parents, teachers in schools, and in other agencies.

Educational psychology is concerned with children and young people in educational and early years settings. Educational psychologists tackle challenges such as learning difficulties, social and emotional problems, issues around disability as well as more complex developmental disorders. They work in a variety of ways including observations, interviews, and assessments and offer consultation, advice, and support to teachers, parents, the wider community as well as the young people concerned.
They research innovative ways of helping vulnerable young people and often train teachers, learning support assistants and others working with children.

Educational psychologists work within local authorities, in partnership with families and other professionals, to help children and young people achieve their full potential. Educational psychologists support schools and the local authority to improve all children’s experiences of learning. They use their training in psychology and knowledge of child development to assess difficulties children may be having with their learning. They provide advice and training on how schools might help children to learn and develop. They recommend methods, or develop strategies in partnership with schools, to help a child learn more effectively. Strategies may include teaching approaches, improvements to learning environments, advice on curriculum materials and behavior support.

Educational psychologists also keep up-to-date with best practice, policy, and research relating to how children learn and make sure this informs local policy and practice. Educational psychologists may also be involved in, and advise, local authority groups, considering additional support for learning policy or provision.
