Health Psychology in Staffordshire University

The Health Psychology MSc is for individuals seeking advanced training in the application of psychological theories, methods and research to the understanding of health, illness and healthcare. It’s the first stage of accreditation towards becoming a Health Psychologist and follows the BPS Division of Health Psychology framework for teaching.

Taught in our multi-million-pound Science Centre, the course will help you develop a comprehensive understanding of the core issues and debates within health psychology theory, research and application. This includes exploring models and theories of health behaviour, considering the impact of living with long-term conditions, contemplating communication issues in healthcare settings – and investigating how psychology can impact on practice through areas such as health promotion and behavioural change. You will also be introduced to the basics of therapeutic work in our exciting “Introduction To Applied Therapeutic And Clinical Skills” module.

In addition to support from the teaching team, our award-winning technicians will assist you. Both are members of the Association of Technical Staff in Psychology and between them have extensive experience of working in the area of psychology. One has been awarded the HEA Psychology Technician of the Year Award, is a member of the HEA, and was awarded professional accreditation as a Registered Scientist (RSci) by the Institute of Science and Technology. Our technicians provide high quality support, particularly in terms of research. Support is also available from our subject-specific librarian and we have a student-led journal club which helps students to enhance their critical evaluation skills
