The Behavioural Science Technician Undergraduate Diploma at Durham College is designed for individuals passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of those with autism, developmental disabilities, and other behavioural needs. You will gain a deep understanding of evidence-based strategies rooted in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), preparing you to address complex challenges in diverse settings. This program equips you with the foundational knowledge and practical skills to implement behavioural interventions, teach essential life skills, and promote positive behaviour, making it ideal for aspiring professionals in the behavioural sciences.
Studied full-time on campus over four semesters, your learning experience will blend theoretical insights with hands-on application. You will explore core subjects including behaviour principles, communication strategies, ethics, and applied ABA techniques, complemented by supervised field placements in Semester 3 and 4. This practical approach ensures you develop real-world competence. You will graduate with the skills to support individuals effectively and are well-prepared for immediate employment or to pursue further education, such as the Honours Bachelor of Behavioural Science degree.
