Our MSc Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is aimed at those wishing to specialise in practical applications of behaviour analysis including positive behaviour support and behaviour analysis in education. The course is designed to develop advanced theoretical and practical knowledge of the basic principles of behaviour analysis and the application of the principles within clinical and research settings.
Behaviour analysts work in a variety of multi-disciplinary settings alongside teachers, psychologists, nurses and other professionals to help individuals and organisations meet their goals and improve quality of life.
Behaviour analysis in the UK is overseen by the UK Society for Behaviour Analysis (UK-SBA.) The UK-SBA’s register of professionals is accredited under the Professional Standards Authority’s Accredited Register programme. Behaviour analysis is an evolving practice and at Bangor we emphasise a values-led and person-centred approach. We endorse and adhere to the UK-SBA practice values and Code of Ethical and Professional Conduct.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Teaching is done through a combination of taught workshops, seminars, specialised computer-based instructional packages and practical ’hands-on’ research experience. We aim to provide a high quality teaching and learning environment that is intellectually stimulating and that uses the principles of behaviour analysis. This requires innovative course content and instructional procedures, measurement of learning, flexible communication among students and staff, and a friendly and supportive environment. Assessment methods include written examinations, oral presentations, case reports, essays, and a research thesis.
