CatalàOne of the latest ideas that has occurred to me is to study an online university postgraduate on autism in the UK. I want to get a stronger basis on autism in general, I prefer university education and contacts, and I need an online course. Why UK and not USA is fundamentally a matter of money: as a citizen of the European Union, the European university fees are “relatively” low. Also, any trip to attend a workshop is shorter and more affordable for me.
Well, I do not know if I’ll finally follow the course, but what if I’ve done so far is a list of courses that meet those requirements, so I put them here in case they are useful for anyone. I have more data, because I’ve spoken with all the respective universities, and I am willing to share it if anyone asks me. And I would love to contact anyone who has attended these courses or have more information about them. Also, I plan to compile a similar lists but focused on USA university programs.
There are studies that clearly are centered on autism and even on ABA. Others are focused on “intellectual disabilities” and there is even an MSc in Applied Psychology. All are online, although some include workshops which can be more or less long (and voluntary).
For those interested in classroom courses (not just online, but also in UK), there is a good list at Postgrad.com.

PG certificate, PG diploma and MSc in Autistic Spectrum Disorders
This course, which has been developed in consultation with principals of special schools and individuals with expertise within this specialist field, is designed to facilitate the professional development of teachers and other related professionals who work, or wish to work, in this area.
Aims – The aim is to enable the study of the theory and practice underpinning the specialist area, in order to enhance understanding and ability to engage in research- and evidence-based practice.
Alternative Options – We offer flexible exit routes for applicants who want to upgrade their expertise, but are unsure if they want or need a full Masters degree. Students may leave the Masters programme after completing either 60 credits (Advanced Certificate in Education, typically 1 year part time) or 120 credits (DASE, typically 2 years part time). There is also an option to study just one module and although students won’t gain a qualification when they complete it, they’ll earn a Certificate of Attendance.
