Bridging the gap between medicine and psychology, this course focuses on understanding the behavioural processes around health, illness and disability, and is one of the only British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited MScs in this subject to offer an 18-week placement. The MSc Health Psychology programme is designed to allow students to develop knowledge and skills across all of the main areas of health psychology to postgraduate level. Students will cover a wide-range of topics, from advanced research methods to a working and evidence-based knowledge of health psychology approaches, theories, models and interventions.
Students will develop a strong knowledge base and core transferable skills. Students will learn to analyse, debate, discuss and devise behaviour change interventions for use in primary, secondary and community care. Students will become autonomous in the design and analysis of research, and develop skills towards becoming an independent researcher. Students will develop an awareness of the practical reality of working in applied settings before going on to perfect those skills in the embedded placement. All of this will provide students with a solid foundation for further study and employment in a variety of areas, including psychology and research assistantships, PhDs, and further training in health or clinical psychology.
