This course, established in 1995, was one of the first Masters in Health Psychology, and has been accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS) since 1999. It includes an innovative portfolio of assessments - which have been consistently praised by external examiners - geared to developing your transferable skills, and relating directly to the world of work. Our assessments include critical reviews, grant application preparation tasks, presenting your work in an end of module conference, designing and implementing a behaviourchange intervention, and writing your research project as a short paper suitable for submission to a peer review journal.
Successful completion of the course (Stage 1) is a prerequisite for the further training (Stage 2) you will need to be able to register with the Health Professions Council (HPC) as a Health Psychologist. The course is taught by a core team of research-active staff, with collaborative links to external institutions in London and beyond.
Contents
The course will give you an in-depth understanding of the theoretical and applied bases of health, illness and disease. The main aim is to help you to develop the theoretical and methodological skills essential for conducting independent research and applying health psychology in practice.
We provide a coherent programme of study covering the content, methods and application of health psychology as defined by the core Stage 1 curriculum of the BPS, Division of Health Psychology. In particular, the course emphasises the importance of an evidencebased approach to health psychology, and develops the core skills you will need for Stage 2 training. Although all modules are core, there is considerable flexibility within the module structure for you to choose particular areas of study of interest.
