Content Summary
Ready to take your behaviour analytic skills to the next level? This module gives you the chance to see how behavioural science truly changes lives. Building on your knowledge of behavioural principles, assessment, and intervention, you’ll explore how advanced behaviour change strategies are applied in real-world contexts - from supporting young learners through early intervention to promoting wellbeing and sustainability in wider communities.
A highlight of the module is the opportunity to gain hands-on experience within the university’s Early Intervention Service, where you will apply your advanced classroom knowledge to real-world practice. Working alongside experienced practitioners, you will contribute to meaningful behaviour change programmes and reflect on the practical and ethical considerations of professional work in the field.
Alongside this applied experience, you will continue to develop the professional skills and ethical awareness required for effective and responsible practice. Guided by the UK-SBA Code of Ethical and Professional Conduct, you will learn to protect clients, maintain professional boundaries, and work collaboratively with integrity and accountability.
By the end of the module, you will be equipped to support the application of advanced behavioural strategies confidently, uphold high professional standards, and contribute positively to the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
