BSc (Hons) degree in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities This programme is suitable for those who have completed the Diploma in Positive Behaviour Support. However, students who already have a degree may take the first four modules as a freestanding Graduate Certificate in Applied Behaviour Analysis, or all five modules for a Graduate Diploma in Applied Behaviour Analysis. The BSc prepares practitioners to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities using a behavioural approach integrated with an ‘ordinary life’ philosophy.
