Course summary

Health psychology investigates how the way we behave influences health, and illness and how we care for people living with long-term conditions. A health psychologist uses their knowledge of psychology to understand health behaviours and to develop psychological interventions to support behaviour change. From health inequalities and public health to psychobiology of illness and long-term conditions, the Health Psychology MSc will provide an in-depth understanding of the theory underpinning health psychology. This course has been designed to give you an ideal base for a rewarding career in health psychology and related fields. Many of our graduates go on to complete further training (Stage 2) to become a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society and a Health Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). Many have also taken up roles within the NHS to run interventions to improve patients' health and manage their illness or to evaluate and re-design existing health services.
