Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis

Overview

This programme aims to transform graduates into Malaysia Certified Behaviour Analysts after achieving the minimal supervised practice hours satisfying the training guidelines of the Malaysia Association of Behaviour Analysis. Sunway University is proud to be the first and only provider of the Master of Applied Behaviour Analysis programme in the Southeast Asia region. The curriculum of the programme covers a range of theoretical and practical aspects of applied behaviour analysis. Graduates will learn to analyse and modify behaviour using principles of applied behaviour analysis in any industry or circumstance that requires behavioural change or maintenance.
