Course summary

Course summary Our MSc in Psychology and Health Inequalities is designed to help you understand and address the social drivers and barriers that can lead to inequalities in health across different groups of society. For example, the differences in life expectancy and quality of life based on where people live or their household income, the health disparities associated with ethnicity and minority status, or the disproportionate chance of developing a physical and/or mental health problem depending on sexuality. This MSc programme will prepare you to use psychological theory and models in conjunction with developing your research skills further to bring about positive change in society. You will also have the option to go on placement within a health-related organisation where you will gain valuable experience in the real world where you can apply your knowledge and get prepared for life after your MSc. This course is of interest to anyone who has an interest in working with seldom heard and disadvantaged groups in society from a health perspective. For example, working for Government agencies to understand how to tackle health inequalities at a policy level, working with charities to understand barriers to accessing health services, or applying your knowledge in research settings to make sure seldom heard groups are included. Our course will also further develop your research training which will equip you with the transferable skills you need to conduct research both within and outside of the health field and to pursue further postgraduate training such as a PhD. The Psychology and Health Inequalities MSc programme is designed to equip you with a range of transferable skills and experiences so that you are prepared you for a variety of possible career paths. For example, you will learn about the social determinants of health, develop your research and analysis skills, learn about engaging with different marginalised groups in society, how to use research to influence policy and practice, gain valuable experience in the real-world on your placement, and benefit from one-to-one supervision from an expert in their research field as part of your dissertation.
