Postgraduate Prospectus

This course has a start date in September

The MSc Psychology and Health is designed for those individuals who wish to explore the many ways in which psychological theory can impact on health, health behaviour and health care systems. With a particular focus on how to promote health across a range of settings this course will be relevant for health professionals who currently work in health settings or for those who have an interest in this area.

We also offer a Postgraduate Diploma Psychology and Health which mirrors the taught component of the MSc but does not have a research project/dissertation requirement.

• The MSc Psychology and Health degree is taught by a group of internationally respected health psychologists whose research interests include the impact of psychological stress, trauma and coping, oral health and social networking on health
• Teaching within the Institute is informed by current research. We believe that research and teaching should be developed and delivered to help students and staff make a difference in the real world
• In the Research Assessment Exercise 2008, 95 per cent of the Institute's research was rated as 'international' with 70 per cent 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent' (with Nottingham University Business School)
• The wider School of Psychology was awarded 24/24 in the latest Teaching Quality Assessment, with a commendation for teaching
