During the first year of the Applied Educational Psychology Doctorate, there is an emphasis on the development of:
- professional criticality
- self-reflection
- the acquisition of process skills
This includes the use of:
- supervision
- consultation
- solution-oriented practices
- narrative practices
- dynamic assessment
- video feedback (including initial training in Video Interaction Guidance)
You'll undertake placements in educational and community settings. You'll use enquiry-based learning throughout. You'll work collaboratively and take responsibility for individual and group learning.
There will be time off across the year during Year 1. This is usually one week in Dec/Jan and March/Apr as well as four weeks in the summer. You’re expected to attend university sessions and placement throughout the half-term holidays. You’re also given a week of study leave in Dec/Jan and March/Apr and two weeks in the summer.
