The M.Sc. in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an intensive full-time course which aims to ensure that students become efficient in the practical application of the principles of applied behaviour analysis. The course provides theoretical, ethical, practical, and basic modules that involve face-to-face classes presented by qualified staff with expertise in Behaviour Analysis. Theory and practice are interwoven throughout the course. Class time includes lectures, interactive sessions, seminars, and group work. Students are required to actively engage in the content and process through discussion and demonstration, including reference to their own work experiences to integrate theory and practice.

This course has been verified by ABAI as meeting the Fifth Edition, 315-hour coursework requirement for those wishing to sit the Board Certified Behaviour Analyst® or Board Certified Assistant Behaviour Analyst® examinations. Students will need to meet additional requirements before becoming eligible to take the exam. Applicants to the course must also be aware of the residency requirements for sitting the BACB exam (you must physically reside in the US, Canada, Australia, or the UK in order to sit the BACB exam)
