You’ll learn theories and practical issues relevant to health psychology and gain an understanding of different approaches to research.

Study applied topics including chronic conditions, maintaining health through the lifespan, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This course is unique for offering a CBT module, providing both a critical understanding and hands-on experience in applying CBT to chronic illness and health-related contexts.
