Careers fair brings potential employers to Bangor University

We were thrilled to host a careers fair for Applied Behaviour Analysis and Positive Behaviour Support in April at Bangor University. We brough together a fantastic group of practitioners from a variety of services (see below), who presented to our students about career opportunities, and opportunities for professional supervision.

The event showcased the range and diversity of career paths available to graduates of our MSc Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and our MSc in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). It also highlighted exciting opportunities for those interested in part-time study while working in the field. There was a great atmosphere in the room as everyone networked, and we had lots of positive feedback about the event from both practitioners and students.

At Bangor University, we offer a full-time MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis and a part-time MSc in Positive Behaviour Support. The full-time (1 year) course is delivered in person, and the part-time (2 year) course is a distance learning option. Both courses are delivered by UKBA (certs) who are experienced practitioners and researchers. The courses provide students with the necessary course work to pursue professional accreditation with UK Society for Behaviour Analysis (UK-SBA), who oversee Behaviour Analysis in the UK. We offer practicum opportunities for full-time and part-time students.

If you have any questions about either of the courses, please contact Dr Millicent Blandford-Elliott (m.blandford-elliott@bangor.ac.uk) or Dr Denise Foran-Conn (d.foran-conn@bangor.ac.uk).
