MSc Early Child Development and Clinical Applications in London United Kingdom | University College London

This program, hosted at Anna Freud, offers a distinctive pathway for those pursuing clinical/psychotherapy training or research/academic careers in child development. The MSc delivers a broad, multi-faceted exploration of early development and clinical practice, featuring a supervised clinical placement, a two-year infant observation in a family environment, and a research component. While rooted in psychoanalytic principles, the course covers diverse theoretical and clinical viewpoints on early childhood development. Participants gain hands-on experience through supervised placements, typically within NHS settings, Anna Freud's clinical services, or partner charities/organizations, alongside completing either an Anna Freud-directed research project or one developed with external collaborators.
