Overview

The Centre’s students are diverse in their backgrounds, with about half coming from social science and the other half from biological and related sciences.

Features

Our Social Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry students at King's College London are supported by a range of funding schemes including the MRC, ESRC, DRIVE-health, King’s China scheme and many others.

Our faculty members of the Centre are able to supervise students on a 1+3 PhD studentships as well as those on a traditional +3 PhD.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Our 1+3 students often undertake the MSc in Developmental Psychology & Psychopathology (DEV-PP) for 1 year before commencing their PhD project.

The MSc DEV-PP programme takes a highly interdisciplinary approach to explore how biological, behavioural and cognitive processes, along with family and wider social forces, can affect typical and atypical development.

Students are taught by world-leading experts and receive training across multiple research fields: molecular & behavioural genetics, twin modelling, statistical genetics, epigenetics, bioinformatics, social and cognitive psychology, and developmental psychiatry.

At the end of the first year, successful students are awarded a Master of Science degree and need not apply to be promoted to PhD training for the remaining 3 years.
