The Postgraduate Certificate (PG Cert) in Neurodiversity is designed to develop a deep understanding of neurodivergent conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. The course equips learners with practical, ethical, and inclusive approaches to supporting neurodivergent individuals across education, workplaces, healthcare, and social environments.
The PG Cert Neurodiversity offers a focused and academically rigorous introduction to neurodiversity from psychological, social, and professional perspectives. It explores how neurodivergence is understood, experienced, and supported within modern society, challenging traditional deficit-based models and promoting strengths-based, inclusive practices.
The course is ideal for professionals working in education, mental health, social care, HR, leadership, and public services, as well as graduates seeking to specialise in inclusive practice. Learners gain the ability to critically evaluate policy, practice, and research, and apply evidence-based strategies to real-world contexts.
